WASHINGTON (TNND) — Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said during an interview that he wouldn’t run for elected office again.

“I will never run for an elected office again,” Walz said Wednesday during an interview with MS Now.

“Never again.”

He said that there are other ways to serve the country and he would find them.

When discussing federal officers and residents of Minnesota, he said there are “heroes on the streets that we don’t know their names.”

Walz announced earlier this year that he would not be running for re-election for governor of Minnesota.

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Amy Klobuchar announced Thursday that she would be running for governor.

"Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot," Klobuchar said in a video announcing her campaign.

“These times call for leaders who can stand up and not be rubber stamps of this administration — but who are also willing to find common ground and fix things in our state.”

Minnesota has been in the news this month due to immigration crackdowns that are happening specifically in the Minneapolis area.

Anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests have broken out around the state following the deaths of two protesters by federal agents. The Trump administration said it is investigating both incidents.
