Tim Walz for Governor & Peggy Flanagan for Lt. Governor

Tim and Peggy didn't plan their lives around running for office, but their lives prepared them to serve Minnesota. They're running to create One Minnesota, where everyone has a voice and an opportunity to succeed - no matter your background or where you grew up.

TIM WALZ IS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER, VETERAN, HUSBAND, DAD, AND GREATER MINNESOTAN
■     As a 20 year, award-winning classroom teacher, Tim understands the importance of fully funding schools and investing in our students.

■     As a 24 year veteran of the Army National Guard, Tim is a champion for our service members and veterans.

■    As a husband and father, Tim knows that love is love. He proudly supported same sex marriage in 2005, before it was politically safe or convenient.

■    As a greater Minnesotan, Tim is honored to represent his neighbors. They've sent him back to Congress six times in a traditionally Republican district because even when they don't agree with him, they know he is looking out for them.

PEGGY FLANAGAN IS A LEGISLATOR, ORGANIZER, MOM, AND MEMBER OF WHITE EARTH BAND OF OJIBWE
■    As a legislator, Peggy knows that decisions made at the State Capitol should include the people most affected by those decisions. Peggy and Tim will ensure they have a seat at the table.

■     As an organizer, Peggy has built her life's work around collective action and empowerment.

■    As a mom and former executive director of Children's Defense Fund-Minnesota, Peggy understands the challenges of child care. That's why she is a leader in the fight for affordable and accessible child care.

■    As a member of White Earth Band of Ojibwe, Peggy knows that people of color and indigenous people need to be represented in government if we want to truly address racial disparities in Minnesota.

With Republicans like Donald Trump intent on dividing us, attacking our values and the middle class, Minnesota needs a team with the courage to lead and bring us together as One Minnesota.

A RECORD THAT PROGRESSIVES CAN COUNT ON

Tim Walz is the second Democrat in 125 years to win in Southern Minnesota's Congressional District. He's done it because he's able to carry a progressive message to Minnesotans of all walks of life.

Tim has stood up for our progressive values, and he's done it in a district that is far from safe for progressives.


■    Always supported marriage equality - Tim has always been a champion for the LGBT community. He formed the first Gay-Straight Alliance at Mankato West High School in the 1990s, and has always been in favor of full marriage equality.

■    Takes a stand against climate change and for our environment - Tim voted in favor of Cap and Trade Legislation, even though he knew it might cost him his seat in Congress. Tim received a 97% rating from the League of Conservation Voters.

■    Defending a woman's right to choose - Tim has a 100% lifetime rating with Planned Parenthood and has always stood up for a woman's right to choose.

■    Keeping families safe from gun violence - In Congress, Tim has voted for Universal Background Checks, "No Fly, No Buy" legislation, and CDC funding for gun violence research. He also co-sponsored the bill to ban bump stocks, voted against concealed carry reciprocity legislation, and is a co-sponsor of the assault weapons ban.

■    Supporting criminal justice reform - Tim believes in creating a system of taxation and regulation for adult-use marijuana. The current system of prohibition has resulted in the disproportionate incarceration of people of color. He also believes that private prisons are inherently wrong and should not be allowed in Minnesota.

■    Fighting for working people - As a longtime member of Education Minnesota and steadfast supporter of organized labor, Tim knows that a strong economy depends on a strong labor movement.

■    Universal health care - Tim believes that universal, affordable health care is a human right, and supports putting Minnesota on a path to single payer. Tim voted for the Affordable Care Act while representing a Republican district. He supports a MinnesotaCare buy-in as the first step toward universal health care.

■    Living wage - Tim supports a living wage and has voted to increase the minimum wage in Congress. He has returned his own Congressional pay raises. He co-sponsored the bill to increase the federal minimum wage to $15.

■    Standing with immigrant communities - Tim is a longtime supporter of Minnesota's immigrant communities. He has supported comprehensive immigration reform for years, and was at the airport demanding answers from customs officials when President Trump's travel ban was issued and has helped dozens of refugee families resettle in Southern Minnesota.
