My goodness! He is the rare politician that the more you dig, the better it gets.

Tim Walz was instrumental with his natural resource policies in Minnesota. Things like:
•only requiring a 2-year vocational degree for a full-time position with the state
•supplimenting atv and utv trail funding
•approved the addition of an additional elk herd
•supplimented funding for boat launches across the state
•increased pay for state natural resource workers
This guy gets blue collar work and will 100% have my vote in November 💙💙

Tim Walz was my HS teacher in 2005! I was an intern on his first congressional campaign in 2006!

[AintSkeerdNWO]

WOW! Imagine… a leader who actually teaches our constituents… I have HOPE!

[Hdhdhhyjy]

Listening to this guy b4 he was nominated for VP gives you more reasons to vote for him 😊

[celestialnubian]

Harris' selection of Tim Walz has boosted my confidence in her by 1000%.

The more I learn about this Tim Walz guy the more I like him

[ARandomDonut]

As a geography nerd, this is the easiest vote decision I've ever faced lol

[LimitedWard]

The thing that strikes me the most from this talk is how Walz is not just a dedicated teacher, he's clearly an adept and curious student as well. I don't know if there is any other politician in the US that would have taken the time to actually learn and understand how to use GIS, let alone recognize its value as a tool affecting change. His willingness to learn new tools and integrate them into his work is what makes him such an effective leader.

[DabsDad]

I had no idea when I watched this speech live on 7/15 who he was, let alone that Biden would drop out a week later leading to him eventually being picked as the VP candidate for the Democratic party. I'm a proud Geographer and Democrat. Once again ESRI is ahead of the curve.

[allan_qiu]

We need to send this man to the White House ASAP!!!

[gengphoto]

Smart and compassionate. Open to learning skills and tools to help people and kids. We're blessed to have him in government.

[pumpernickelplace]

def need more public servants like this

[f-zoomer]

Tim Walz was such a good teacher, his high school students used GIS to predict the Rwandan Genocide years before it happened

[earthsystem]

I'm motivated to be a lifelong learner by this gentleman. We all should be lifelong Learners. GIS sounds completely awesome for tracking data and results

[acousticarchivefortwayne]

Wow, as a former Quality Engineer this is right up my alley. We always used data in manufacturing to create and test an improvement then measure the results and see if we accomplished what we wanted to do. I was impressed by Tim Walz before but after hearing this short presentation I can say he's taken it to a new level in my book.

[atmicbunnygirl]

OMG. I already loved him, but he's smart and knows stuff, too?! 🤯😍✊️💙💙💙

[paulluka]

This is the problem with US politics, it's hard to know about real politicians that are willing to help the people and the country. Something tells had Biden not dropped no one outside Minnesota would have known the existence of Tim walz.

[dovmoen]

I’m sad he’s leaving Minnesota because he’s such a great governor, but I hope he can bring this level of knowledge to bridge tools like this with governance. Amazing man!

[juicesnap]

as a Statistician and data gis map nerd it is nice to see my kind represented on a presidential ticket...
Harris/Walz 2024.
