Reelected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz outlines second term priorities
Tim Walz, the former member of congress from Mankato can now put two term governor of Minnesota on his resume. Walz defeated GOP challenger former state senator Scott Jensen by an eight-point margin: some 192,000 votes.
He did so in part by winning strong support in the core Twin Cities metro area and in the suburbs. He also carried the Duluth area, Rochester and his hometown of Mankato.
In his first address after winning re-election, Walz laid out his priorities. MPR political editor Mike Mulcahy spoke with Cathy Wurzer about the race and Walz’s comments.
