My dad was a union man, and my roots are in unions

Walsh--who has two grown children with his wife, Janet, and a grandchild--said he is a Democrat owing to his roots in the union stronghold of Butte. "My dad was a pipefitter and was a strong labor man," Walsh said. "I was raised with the Democratic values, Montana Democratic values and I have carried those values on throughout my lifetime."
