The Unorthodox Finances of Minnesota Governor Tim Walls: A Deep Dive by Forbes

How much is Kamala Harris’s VP pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, worth? Vice President Harris has been rallying all week with her running mate, and there’s been plenty of discussion about his unorthodox finances. Forbes did a deep dive into his life. Walls was born in Nebraska in 1964 to working class parents and enlisted in the Army National Guard at age 17. After several years of service, some odd jobs, and a college degree, he discovered a love of teaching and became a public school educator. He and his wife, Gwen, also a teacher, moved to Minnesota in 1996 and kept up their careers. Walls was deployed briefly during Operation and During Freedom, then got back, retired from the military and teaching, and ran for Congress as a war skeptical Democrat. He won and served for six terms, then became the governor of Minnesota. Today, essentially his entire net worth is made up of pensions from the military, teaching, and politics. At around a million dollars total, that net worth is also the lowest of anyone on a major party ticket.
