Minnesota Sportsmen Endorse Tim Walz for Congress
Walz rolls out new radio ad featuring Chris Cox from the NRA

( Mankato , Minnesota ) – This afternoon, Tim Walz joined a group of sportsmen from around southern Minnesota at the Elks Nature Center in Rasmussen Woods to kick off Sportsmen for Walz.

Walz, who is releasing a new radio advertisement today to tout his endorsement by the National Rifle Association, is an avid hunter. Sportsmen for Walz includes hunters, anglers and others committed to habitat preservation and outdoor recreation.           

“ Southern Minnesota has a heritage of responsible gun ownership and outdoor recreation,” Walz said. “I’m proud to be a part of that heritage, I’m proud of my NRA endorsement and I’m proud to be supported by a broad group of southern Minnesota ’s sportsmen.”           

“Tim Walz has always been a supporter of our hunters and anglers and that’s why we’re supporting him in return,” said Al Stork, a hunter and member of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership from Stewartville. “With Tim, you always know he stands squarely behind our hunting and fishing heritage.”

Sportsman for Walz includes members who’ve pledged to knock on doors, make phone calls and campaign on behalf of Tim Walz across southern Minnesota in support of his reelection bid.

Attached is the new Sportsmen for Walz radio ad, entitled: “A Rating.”

FYI : Yesterday, I saw a bumper sticker with an orange "Sportsman for Walz" bumper sticker on one side and a "Coleman" sticker on the other end of the bumper. Looking from the back, Coleman is on the left and Walz on the right ... hmmm ... is that to promote cross-appeal against the standard Party Lefty-Righty split ?

Ollie Ox says: Probably just a person who is supporting Coleman and Walz. Split tickets happen.
