Minneapolis Star Tribune: “Walz doesn’t drink alcohol or coffee. His beverage of choice is Diet Mountain Dew, lots of it. He got a DWI in Nebraska in 1995 before he quit drinking.”
“He is unfailingly punctual.”
“He rides in the front passenger seat of the state SUV when he’s driven by state troopers because he gets carsick in the back seats.
”“He taught English in China in 1989 and can still converse in Mandarin.”
