If you are thinking, “Tim Walz can’t be that bad…”, please allow me to attempt to change your mind.

My dad might be the only person on the planet that loves Minnesota as much or more than I do. He spent the first 65 years of his life living in the Polish Catholic neighborhood

on the east side of Saint Paul. My childhood home was a short 3 blocks from his childhood home. He moved a total of 3 city blocks in 65 years.

When I was a child, my mom worked nights. On Saturday mornings, to get my brother, sister, and me out of the house, my dad would take us

to the library to allow my mom to sleep. By the time I was 8, I had been to every library in the 7 county metro area.

For vacations, we went to cities in Minnesota. We would go to the local festivals or parades. And, we always went to the local Catholic Mass on Saturday evening

and Lutheran Service on Sunday morning, before heading home. When we had school days off, my dad would take the day off work and take us on “day trips” to cities in Minnesota, two hours or less from home.

In college, I worked at the alumni office to solicit alumni for donations.

I was really good at it, because, every alumni I called, I could say with honesty, that I had been to their hometown, and I could chat with them about the unique things in their town. When I graduated college, my pastor’s wife told me, she had never met someone so content with

such little travel outside their home state and so much love for it, as me. And, it was all because my dad passed his great love on to me.

My dad would often say, “the next place I’m moving to is the ground.” And I never doubted the sincerity of that statement. He loved his home

That all changed during the George Floyd riots of 2020. My dad would call me with an update daily. He was distraught by the vandalism and the mandatory curfews. For the first time in his life, he was afraid for his safety living in Saint Paul. Then, one day, the final chip fell.

He decided he and my mom were moving as soon as he retired. He started a countdown to retirement and moving day. Not less than a month after he retired, my parents moved to Iowa.

This was single handedly the fault of Tim Walz and his policies. He ruined my home. My dad’s home.

This beautiful state is no longer recognizable to people that have lived here for generations. Tim Walz is not content for it to stop with Minnesota. If he is elected, I believe, he intends to ruin America and make it totally unrecognizable to all Heritage Americans.
