Tim Walz Will Run for Re-Election

September 16, 2025 · 10:18 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday he will seek a third term in the 2026 elections, hoping to beat the odds to become the longest-serving governor in a state where voters have usually said two terms were plenty,” the AP reports.

Said Walz: “I’ve seen how we help each other through the hard times. And boy, we’ve seen terrible times this year. I’m heartbroken and angry about the beautiful people we lost to gun violence. But it’s in these moments we have to come together. We can’t lose hope because I’ve seen what we can do when we work together.”
