Tim Walz was a US House rep for 12 years. What do his colleagues from Georgia think of him?

Before Tim Walz emerged in the national spotlight as Kamala Harris’ running mate, the midwestern veteran retained a low profile — but he was not unknown.

Prior to becoming the governor of Minnesota, Walz served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007 to 2019, and he cosponsored a number of bills with U.S. representatives from Georgia.

Though U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., feels that Walz was a great pick, he said he wasn’t “in front of the cameras” as often as his other colleagues in Congress.
