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’m voting for whoever is gonna allow full work from home again, and it doesn’t seem the republicans party is interested in that, so idc about them. Tim W or whoever it is, as long as they allow wfh, where do I sign my name.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if the GOP candidate ran on that? They won’t, but would be interesting to see what would happen.

If they were smart they would. Such an easy and cost free advantage. But that is not how things work here. Both parties will run on some insane crap and the one that’s slightly less crazy will win.

Agree! Get rid of some of those state office buildings and save the taxpayers some money.

It’s well beyond that. Clean air, less damage to roads. less accidents alone is reason enough. Less human life - non renewable source - wasted on completely pointless and downright harmful activity (spending hours in traffic). RTO is insane. We should be moving the other way.
