The progressive Jews behind Tim Walz for Vice President - Wellstone Action, Repower.org

How a progressive boot camp founded by Jews helped Tim Walz become a politician

Democratic VP candidate will be ’eminently fair’ on issues of concern to US Jewry, say founders of Wellstone Action, a progressive training camp named for Jewish former, Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone.

David and Mark Wellstone created the progressive training organization and named in memory of their father!

Times of Israel reports: "JTA — In 2005, a high school geography teacher in rural Mankato, Minnesota, arrived at a politics boot camp named for a progressive Jewish senator, where he honed his skills in grassroots organizing and voter outreach.

Nearly two decades later, Tim Walz is the Democratic vice presidential candidate. And the Jews who trained him couldn’t be happier."

We started off as Wellstone Action and now—as re:power, we’ve transformed into what we believe the movement needs.
