There's a comprehensive summary of #Walz 's background & political career on #Wiki .
There will be things there that may surprise & concern leftist #Dems but will give #Moderate & #Independent voters (like me) comfort.
One glaring omission from this bio is that he & his wife used IVF to give birth to their daughter, Hope, & that he supports the use of IVF in addition to a woman's right to choose. 👏
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walz

in reply to Jcrabapple 💙 • • •The most obvious things that will be of concern to leftist #Dems are that #Walz is a #GunOwner, a #Hunter & once received an "A" rating from the #NRA for his support of #GunOwnership .
The NRA lowered its rating of Walz to "F" after he changed his position to allow more restrictions on #GunOwnership following the #Parkland shooting in #Florida (including as was just pointed out to me) that, as govenor, Walz implemented background checks to prevent "mentally unstable people" from purchasing guns in #Minnesota .
So, while I do not believe that Walz will ever support a complete ban on gun ownership (other than for #AssaultWeapons ), he has already shown that he's willing to a support "common sense" restrictions on gun ownership that will lessen (but certainly not quell) the concerns of leftist Dems in this regard.
