00:00With Biden's decision to step down, I thought it was a really good decision and saw a huge
00:08opening for Walls.
00:10I know that he's been a great leader for Minnesota.
00:12He's been terrific and I was excited to see him announced today.
00:16Really excited.
00:17I was surprised a little bit, but super excited for everyone to discover what a great leader
00:23Tim Walls is.
00:24Well, I was very impressed with how he handled a situation during the pandemic and he was
00:30a very calm presence and also in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.
00:37I have a daughter and I am pro-choice and I'm glad, you know, that we live in Minnesota
00:43and that he has solidified that right for women.
00:46He's just an approachable, down-to-earth person.
00:49He speaks plainly.
00:50He speaks the truth.
00:51He doesn't sugarcoat things.
00:53He doesn't tell you what you want to hear.
00:57I think all of those are very good qualities in a leader, locally and nationally.
