Walz introduced himself to the nation as a teacher, coach and veteran with bipartisan credentials and a simple pledge to “respect our neighbors and the choices they make.”

“Thank you for your passion. Thank you for your determination, and most of all, thank you for bringing the joy to this fight,” Walz said at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
