    He didn’t have to choose to take corporate money. Once he had then he didn’t have to choose the mansion. However, he chose both of them.

    He doesn’t live the life of his constituents. Maintenance of his quality of life and that of his family is now dependent upon representing the will of the corporate donor. He’s very “in touch” with the exploitation of his constituents or he’d not be a candidate for DNC VP.

    Just a suggestion: You should ask more questions.

        The made up kind.

        State of play: Walz doesn’t own a single stock, according to financial disclosures and confirmed by a spokesperson. Same goes for his wife Gwen, per tax filings.

        • His disclosures, both from his final year in Congress and his time as Minnesota governor, also show no mutual funds, bonds, private equities, or other securities.

        • No book deals or speaking fees or crypto or racehorse interests.

        • Not even real estate. The couple sold their Mankato, Minnesota, home after moving into the governor’s mansion, for below the $315k asking price).

        Zoom in: Their only investment assets appear to be via state pensions, including teacher pensions.

        That idiot is just making things up. They clearly don’t know anything at all about Tim Walz. Who, as far as finances goes, appears to have more in common with middle class families than any VP candidate in a century.

          Thanks for doing the research that the other guy didn’t/wouldn’t lmao. I knew Walz seemed like a pretty stand up guy, but I didn’t know the extent of it. I’m even more excited about him being picked for VP now
