      Walz has been amazing and the amount of progressive laws that have been passed in MN in the past two years with a 1 vote majority in the state house is ridiculous. This doesn’t even scratch the surface but

      1. Recreational weed
      2. Mandatory sick time accrual – my company had to give those of us in MN one or two additional sick days,
      3. Free school lunches
      4. Banning of non-competes (still important due to the recent supreme court ruling that limits the ability of federal agencies to set regulations)
      5. Reproductive rights

      We’re certainly going to miss him as governor but he will be an amazing VP.
