Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the first former school teacher to appear on a major party's presidential ticket in 50 years, brings a long resume on education issues to his new role as a vice presidential candidate.
Walz famously signed into law free school lunches for every student in the state and helped enact major budget increases for schools, moves that came decades after he coached a high school football team to a state championship and helped start his school's gay-straight alliance.
