    TIM WALZ

Tim Walz was born in a small rural Nebraska town. Walz graduated from public high school at age seventeen and immediately enlisted in the Army National Guard.   He worked up through the enlisted ranks retiring after 24 years of service.   

 

Waltz went to state college with the help of the GI Bill.   He graduated with a teaching degree and became a high school teacher and coach.   He married a teacher. 

  

After retirement from the military Walz was elected six times to Congress.

Walz's accomplishments as governor have been wide-ranging and focused on the middle class.

AND WHAT ABOUT THIS CREEP?

J. D. Vance:

A Yale graduate who made millions in Silicon Valley.   He is anti-abortion, opposed to same-sex marriages, against support for Ukraine, and obsessed with women's reproduction, believing that women’s whole purpose in life is to have children and raise children.  

These are our choices for VP.   And remember that is one step away from the Presidency.
