CONGRATULATIONS to Tim Walz and Peggy Flannagan.....

My dear and close friend, Tim Walz and Peggy Flannagan are on their way to becoming Minnesota's next Governor and Lt. Governor. What a dynamic duo they make.

Tim's 12 years in the US House has groomed him to continue his leadership and knowledge to serve the good people of Minnesota for years to come. Tim debates on the merits of the facts,. never denigrating his opponents. He served with honor in the Minnesota Army National Guard for 24 years, retiring as a Command Sargeant Major, a position that does not come lightly by any means. One must prove many attributes to earn that rank. A Teacher for 20 years at Mankato West and 2 time State Football Champion.

Tim Walz, in the 13 years I have known him, is not one to be intimidated easily. His command of the facts in presenting his argument leaves his opponents in the dust. He is as persuasive as he is passionate. He has earned the respect of Veterans here in the 1st CD, as well as all over the State. His support amongst Farmers in Minnesota makes him strong on Agricultural issues as well. For he serves on both House Veteran's Affairs and Ag committees. His knowledge makes him the strongest candidate to go head to heas with whomever the MNGOP puts up.

Tim's choice of Peggy Flannagan is nothing short of genius. She is an equal partner on this team. I do not know her as well as I do Tim, but I have no doubt that this dynamic duo will serve Minnesota well.

Victory in November for Tim and Peggy.
