Pick something to celebrate about Tim Walz

There’s a crowd of ordinary people cheering as Tim Walz in a cavalcade of black SUVs leaves the governors mansion in St Paul MN.
Yay.
So want to celebrate something about Tim Walz?
Feel free to add your own “Other”.

I haven't been invested or watching the VP race. I liked Buttigeg, but knew he was not on the short list...and I wasn't really attracted to Kelley...

So I need a full story, lol...I'm doing the research. But I knew Kamala would pick a winner.

From just the qualities above, he's got the resume! Damn!
So thanks for helping ke in my start of looking into "who is Tim Walz...?"

I picked China because I am an old China hand myself but the whole list is awesome!
Together they tell a great story and show a genuinely good man.

Who died in the Parkland shooting while protecting kids.
He was only 35, and looked like a good guy.
