Walz forms a federal leadership PAC

DFL Rep. Tim Walz has formed a federal political action committee. Paperwork with the FEC says Walz created the Renewing the American Dream PAC. The PAC's Assistant Treasurer, Shelli Hesselroth, said Walz formed the leadership PAC to help federal candidates with "common sense voices who believe in solving problems." Hesselroth said they haven't determined who will get money from the PAC. She said Walz will raise money for the PAC through individual contributions and will not hold fundraisers for it.

As far as I know, Walz is now the seventh member of Minnesota's delegation to form a federal leadership PAC. Here are the candidates who currently have PACs

DFL Sen. Amy Klobuchar has the Follow the North Star PAC.

DFL Sen. Al Franken has the Midwest Values PAC

DFL Rep. Tim Walz has the Renewing the American Dream PAC

GOP Rep. John Kline has the Freedom and Security PAC

DFL Rep. Betty McCollum has the Betty PAC

DFL Rep. Collin Peterson has the Valley PAC

DFL Rep. Jim Oberstar has the Mesabi Fund

Gov. Pawlenty also has the Freedom First PAC.

Let me know if I'm missing any.
