Walz began his speech by talking about his small-town upbringing in Butte, Nebraska, where not everyone believed the same thing or loved the same way, but saying, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Everybody belongs, and everybody has a responsibility to contribute.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Walz went through his professional resume, starting with his work as a high school teacher and coach. 바카라 게임 웹사이트It was those players and my students who inspired me to run for Congress,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I learned how to work across the aisle on issues like growing the rural economies and taking care of veterans.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Walz said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Never underestimate a public school teacher,바카라 게임 웹사이트 as he described how he won a seat in Congress after a career as a teacher with no prior political experience.
He also touted some of his policy achievements as governor while critiquing his GOP counterparts.
바카라 게임 웹사이트While other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. In a dig at Republican VP nominee JD Vance, he added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트I had 24 kids in my high school class, and none of them went to Yale.바카라 게임 웹사이트

Additionally, Walz also talked about his family.
When he discussed the difficulty of conceiving his daughter, Hope, she made a heart with her hands and held it over her chest. His son, Gus, wept watching his dad speak and at least once shouted, 바카라 게임 웹사이트That's my dad!바카라 게임 웹사이트
He finished his speech returning to his coaching roots.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Let me finish with this, team. It바카라 게임 웹사이트s the fourth quarter. We바카라 게임 웹사이트re down a field goal. But we바카라 게임 웹사이트re on offense and we바카라 게임 웹사이트ve got the ball," Walz said.
He said that Democrats have to do the 바카라 게임 웹사이트blocking and tackling,바카라 게임 웹사이트 making phone calls and knocking on doors over the next 76 days. 바카라 게임 웹사이트There will be time to sleep when you바카라 게임 웹사이트re dead,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.
As Walz wrapped his speech to wild applause, his walk-off song 바카라 게임 웹사이트Rockin바카라 게임 웹사이트 in the Free World바카라 게임 웹사이트 played. The classic rock fan selected the song, according to a campaign aide, and rocker Neil Young signed off on its use.
Young famously sued Trump for using the song at his campaign rallies without permission.
