Walz known for showing genuine concern, helping

Tim Walz, along with a group of us, biked the Red Jacket Trail a few years ago. One in our party had tire trouble on several occasions. Walz was always there to help her.

She was very frustrated, which Walz sensed and said, “You take my bike and I’ll ride yours.” This is an example of what a gentleman Walz is. He shows the same concern for his students. He listens to them and includes them when he teaches, which I’m sure he’ll do for his constituents.

Walz spent more than a year teaching in China. How appropriate to know that we could have a congressman who knows China.

We don’t have to vote straight party lines Nov. 7. We can vote for the best person. That person would be Walz.
