Will Walz be highlighted during the State Fair?

I think that he usually drops in but perhaps not this time.

Too partisan?

If he shows up it would probably be at the DFL booth, which of course is partisan. Ocelot II Aug 2024 #1

The Senators and other elected officials usually make an appearance there. But since Walz now has Secret Service protection they might think it wouldn't be safe, since the fair is always a total zoo, and it would also disrupt the whole area.

as long as Gov Walz has been Governor, he was at the entrance gate on opening day at 6:00am!!!!! Every opening day!!! Greeting the folks coming in and welcoming them to the MN State Fair. How cool is that?? The fair opens every day at 6:00am and he was there every opening day.
