Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz did not mince his words as he urged Democrats to think big as they solve America’s problems, including the gun control third rail.
Tim Walz is on point.
Governor Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, wants Democrats to think big. It is the first time in eight years that Democrats control both chambers in their legislature and the governorship.
His answer was on point when asked how he intended to use that new power.
“We are going to use it to improve the lives of Minnesotans,” Walz said. “They spoke very clearly in this election.”
The governor said he is proud that his state ranks near the top in voter turnout. Democrats will be using available federal dollars to increase ballot access. They will strongly support reproductive rights. The governor said they would also make historic investments in education.
And the following statement is what every Democrat must use. In effect, they make things stalled because of Republicans’ intransigence move to improve people’s lives.
“It’s moving things forward that people asked for that have been stalled,” Walz said. “So, It is an exciting time.”
The governor concurred that they are going on the offensive with voter rights. He slammed policies where many hindrances to voting have been applied, like the inability to give water to voters in line, etc.
The governor pointed out a reality Democrats must heed. Too often, Democrats with slim majority impose a certain impotence onto themselves. Walz made it clear that would not be Minnesota.,
“If there is anything Republicans have taught me,” Walz said.” We have a slim majority in the Senate. Republicans always told me a one-vote majority is a majority. And that is what I am saying now.”
Thank you, Mr. Governor. And when politicians execute assertively for the good of their constituents, and they make it known, they are reelected to do more good.,
