Walz’s first TV ad highlights work with veterans

Rep. Tim Walz released a new television ad on Wednesday called “Right Thing.” The ad tells the story of Vietman veteran Mike Trok, who had trouble getting help from the Veteran’s Administration after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease from exposure to Agent Orange. Trok says that Walz was instrumental in getting him help at the VA.

“Tim Walz is doing the right thing right now for us,” he says in the ad.

Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years and is currently a member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. He faces GOP challenger Randy Demmer in November.
