Gov. Evers Releases Statement Regarding Gov. Walz Announcement
MADISON -Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding an announcement made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz today regarding his political future:

"Tim has always been a good friend and a good neighbor to us across the river, and I'm incredibly grateful we've had the opportunity to serve as governors of our states together. I've always appreciated our friendship, Tim's wit and candor, and how relentless he is about working to improve the everyday lives of Minnesotans and people across our country.

"Most of all, Tim is a devoted husband and father, and he is a dedicated public servant who's spent his career putting others before himself-and that's just as true today as it's ever been.

"Kathy and I are thinking of Tim and Gwen and the kids today, as we know how important family is when making these kinds of decisions. We're grateful to call them friends.

"I look forward to working with Tim in the days and months ahead as we continue getting good things done for the people of our states."
