Tim Walz has taken a more liberal stance on a number of issues since becoming governor in 2019 .

He signed legislation codifying abortion rights in 2023 , making Minnesota the first state to do after Roe v. Wade .

Walz and his wife, Gwen , opened up about their own fertility struggles after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that frozen embryos made through in vitro fertilization, or IVF , are children under the law.

Walz voted for a bill that would block Syrian and Iraqi refugees from entering the U.S. He signed a bill last year that made undocumented immigrants eligible for Minnesota driver's licenses.

Walz asked Democrats in Congress to find a pathway to citizenship for essential workers, "Dreamers" and immigrants.
