If they aren't using this interview yet for Walz they really should be [1]

Read a really great interview with one of Walz’s former HS students on politico. Some snippets below along with a link to the full interview:

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you look back on Tim Walz as a teacher?

Passionate and service-oriented. I think those are the two things that pop for me.

He was the picture of humble, masculine service energy in our school. There was a student who, I want to say in 2002 or 2003, came out to Walz, and that was really the only adult or maybe teacher that they had come out to before as gay. And Walz was pretty determined to, if that student was up for it, start a Gay-Straight Alliance at our school. Walz, I think it wasn’t lost on him — the idea of him being a football coach and military guy. To him, that’s just what you do for kids.

For those interested here is a link to the full interview:

The picture painted in the interview is exactly what should stressed out on the campaign trail. Not only does it highlight Walz’s own appeal but it speaks volumes on Harris’s judgement in what she valued in a running mate. I can honestly say she couldn’t have picked a better person if she tried.
