ST. PAUL, Minn. — The political career of Tim Walz was a long one. Now it’ s over. The Minnesota governor, age 61, said he has no plans to seek elected office again. “There’s other ways to serve, and I’ll find them,” the governor said in a KMSP interview. Walz, a Mankato school teacher, was elected to the MN-1 seat in the U.S. Huse in 2007 and re-elected five times. He then was elected governor. He had national attention in 2024 as running mate to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The Harris-Walz ticket lost 49% to 48%. to Donald Trump. After the loss Walz returned to St. Paul as the sitting governor.
