ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – Former governor Jesse Ventura says Gov. Tim Walz, fresh off Tuesday’s vote that will send the Democratic incumbent to a second term, told him that legalizing marijuana will be “one of the first” things that gets passed by the incoming state legislature.
The comments were made on a podcast with his son, Tyrel Ventura. The former governor said that Walz also invited him to the ceremony where he signs the bill into law.
A spokesperson for Walz confirmed Jesse Ventura’s comments, adding that they “may work together to get something done.”
This comes after voters flipped the Minnesota Senate, which had been in the Republican Party’s control going into this week’s midterms.
