Tim Walz in Campaign issue-based endorsements 2024

On Homeland Security: Bipartisan leadership of House Veterans Affairs Committee

Before becoming governor of Minnesota, as a congressman, Tim championed issues that resonate with a broad spectrum of Americans. While serving in Congress, I observed Tim's leadership of the House Veterans Affairs Committee where he advocated for veterans' rights, pushed for educational reforms, and addressed health care disparities.

On Principles & Values: GOP endorser: Walz serves calmly & humbly, without bluster

Tim and I represented different political parties--he as a Democrat, and I as a Republican--yet we found common ground and worked together on numerous issues for the betterment of our constituents and our nation. More than ever, America just needs a normal guy to help lead our nation and bring us together. I'm excited Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Tim as her running mate.

Refreshingly, and sadly increasingly uncommon in D.C. today, Tim did not advocate issues to improve his partisan political standing or increase his social media presence. Instead, Tim demonstrated a simple commitment to policies that would improve people's lives regardless of any political advantage.

On War & Peace: Visited Afghan troops to ensure they had what they needed

More recently, Tim and I met at the observances marking the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in June. As soldiers, we both intrinsically understood the sacrifice made by those brave Americans in WWII fighting to overcome extremist right-wing fascism. Tim & I reconnected because he & I recognize we are both Americans, happily married husbands, proud dads of great kids and Army veterans.
