My friend, Exactly one year ago, I was sworn in as Governor of Minnesota. As we start a new year, my message to you today is the same as it was when I launched my campaign and the moment I took my oath of office: There is nothing Minnesotans can’t accomplish when we come together and face our challenges head-on.

My friend,

Exactly one year ago, I was sworn in as Governor of Minnesota.

As we start a new year, my message to you today is the same as it was when I launched my campaign and the moment I took my oath of office: There is nothing Minnesotans can’t accomplish when we come together and face our challenges head-on.

One Minnesota is who we are. When Minnetonka thrives, Mankato thrives. When Winona thrives, Warroad thrives.

This past legislative session, in one of the only divided governments in the country, we proved it by passing a budget that is improving the lives of millions of Minnesotans with impactful investments in health care, education, and local communities across our state.

This is what One Minnesota is all about -- rising above the politics of fear and division and getting things done for people.

We have a lot of work ahead of us. But if you believe, as I do, that we can lead the country on education and health care, and provide an unparalleled quality of life for every Minnesotan in every zip code, I’m asking for your help.

On the anniversary of Inauguration Day, will you make a contribution of $5 (or whatever works today) to help us continue building a brighter future for our state?

Thank you for everything.

I’m grateful,

Tim Walz
