Today, we’re launching Small Town PAC. We’re going to show up in small towns, organize in places too many people have given up on, and build power with the folks who call these places home. If Democrats want to win in more places, we’ve got to start showing up in more places.

It’s true. I’m a veteran, a hunter, and a gun owner. But I’m also a dad. And for many years, I was a teacher. I know basic gun safety isn’t a threat to my rights. It’s about keeping our kids safe. I had an A rating from the NRA. Now I get straight F's. And I sleep just fine.
.@Tim_Walz used to be supported by the NRA and took money from them. But after the Parkland shooting his daughter, Hope asked he do all he could to fight gun violence. In response Walz not only denounced the NRA & gave all the money he ever took from them to charity. Since then he’s passed multiple gun laws as governor of Minnesota.

My dad served in the army during the Korean war. With his encouragement, at 17, I joined the Army National Guard for 24 years. Service gave me the strength of a shared commitment to something greater than ourselves. And just as it did for my dad and millions of others, the GI Bill gave me a shot at a college education.
