MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has announced he will run for a second term in 2022.
Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced their re-election campaign Tuesday morning.
“It has been an honor to serve as your governor,” Walz said in a statement. “During the unprecedented challenges of the last two years, I’ve seen Minnesotans from all walks of life come together in order to fight the virus, save lives and get our state on the path to recovery. We’re not done yet, but Peggy and I are excited to continue that fight with you.”
Hamline University political analyst David Schultz says Governor Tim Walz has a “difficult game ahead.”The number-one issue will likely be crime/police reform, coupled with COVID if waves of the pandemic continue. There are stark differences between Walz and Republicans on both of those issues.
