Yesterday’s post was well-received (please pass it on), so here’s a quick follow-up.
This is from a New York Times article about Tim Walz’ time in the House:
During that campaign, Mr. Walz underscored both his military service in the Army National Guard and his commitment to improving the health care system in a plain-spoken radio advertisement that said he suffered inner-ear damage after years of firing artillery. Because he had good health insurance, Mr. Walz said, he had recently been able to receive surgery and hear an important sound for the first time: his 4-year-old daughter, Hope, singing to herself.
“Hope wakes up singing every morning, but I had never heard that sound until that day,” Mr. Walz said. “I am running for Congress because I believe we as a country have a moral obligation to ensure that every father can hear his daughter sing — that every citizen receives the best care our medical community has to offer.”
What a story. What an ad.
What a candidate.
What a campaign we’re about to have.
