Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed his hopes for voters to recognize his dedication to serving the people during Tuesday's vice presidential debate. While taking a break from debate preparations, Gov. Walz, accompanied by his wife Gwen Walz and daughter Hope, explored downtown Petoskey, Michigan.

During his visit, Gov. Walz emphasized his commitment to doing his best for the community. The family spent time browsing through local shops, including a bookstore and a pet store. At the bookstore, they made several purchases, including records selected by their daughter Hope. The albums chosen were '1989 (Taylor’s Version)' by Taylor Swift and 'Honey Bones' by Dope Lemon. Gov. Walz admitted he was unfamiliar with the latter artist.
