Governor Tim Walz discusses the legislative session and his tenure as Minnesota's governor.

Minnesota lawmakers have headed home for the year. The Legislature adjourned earlier this week after enacting some priorities and setting others to the side. Some bills still await action by Gov.

MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst speaks with Walz about the highs and the lows over his eight years in office. Then, a recap of this year’s session. There were somber moments, tense exchanges and lots of debate over the past few months. We’ll take a look back with our political reporters. Guests: Gov. Tim Walz is a second-term Minnesota governor. Dana Ferguson is a political correspondent for MPR News. Peter Cox is a politics reporter for MPR News.
