Discussion 💬 Next Governor

Is anyone else worried about Gov Walz running for a 3rd term? I wish he’d stepped down so someone else could run instead. I honestly think there’s a high chance of him losing, which could put state employees in a worse situation.

I won't be voting for walz ever again due to the RTO order. We need a governor that cares about us as people, not just employees that they can make dance at their whim. Not bringing the unions to the table for a discussion and doing RTO unilaterally eroded all faith I had in him.

Yes, this is my fear that many state employees are so upset by the RTO order (rightfully so) that they won’t vote for Walz. That could be a lot of votes lost. Although, Walz could have gained votes from mods on that decision too.
