What Makes Tim Walz Unusual

Tim Walz is the first union member on a presidential ticket since Reagan. He comes from the working class and champions ideas that make a real difference for working class people. He capped insulin at $35, banned junk fees, gave every student free school lunch, and more.

More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means:

We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions.

We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.

We're an independent, nonprofit newsroom. To support our work:

What concerns me is how Billionaires & Millionaires DO NOT want a happy & functioning America with strong Citizens to keep it that way!...

[sceinceguy]

It's sad that "feeding school children" could be considered a controversial topic to some

[MrHammer]

The strength of unions needs to come back to what it was 50yrs ago

Tim Walz has done so much good and I'm hoping and also believe he can be motivated to move towards a free Palestine and peace in the middle east .

"I AM the pocket!" What a line lol.

I know it doesn't have much to do with Unions or protecting working/middle class. However one of my favorite stories is him setting up a library that contains all the books that have been banned anywhere else.

The more I hear about this guy, the more I love him

[michaelratliff]

Perfect example of what americans think politicians are supposed to be! Of the people, by the people, for the people! 🫡🎓🌎✔️😎

You can't go wrong with a social studies teacher. Excited to have @Tim_Walz on the ticket. Good to have someone who knows American history. ~Ken Burns

Tim Walz, a man who loves to save big money. And Minnesotans have benefit immensely both in services provided and the budget surplus he helped to cultivate.

[TravisPluss]

He is a saint. I know that I am capable of some 4-year degree jobs, but it is definitely classist that it’s posted on every job that provides a livable wage.

[Freddisred]

It would be refreshing to see this country invest in its own people, with food and healthcare and opportunities. Y'know, like a government or something.

[neonGawdzilla]

Walz is the kind of person that makes you want to get involved in government. It's not all just rich grifters.

[chelseamckee]

What a reasonable law, to ensure the school children are fed.

[wxripfs]

I'm starting to like this guy more & more.

[vilstef]

I like having a knowledgeable but unpretentious guy in our corner! Feeding hungry kids and improving lives is a better response than the draconian, cruelty is the point Republican policies!

[kdavidsmith]

Feeding kids no questions asked? Shut up and take my vote

[Exspazament]

Tim Walz brings tears of joy to my eyes.
