Mike Johanns - - ------------ - - - - - - - Tim Walz
Congratulations to Mike Johanns, a 1971 graduate of Saint Mary’s University, who has been elected to the United States Senate to represent Nebraska. Johanns is a Republican who served three years as Secretary of Agriculture in the Bush Administration. Previously, Johanns was governor of Nebraska for six years, and also served as mayor of Lincoln. In 2004, Saint Mary’s recognized Johanns’ accomplishments with our Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Congratulations also go to Tim Walz, who was re-elected as U.S. Representative from Minnesota’s 1st District. Walz, a Democrat from Mankato, is a candidate in our doctoral program in leadership.
Additionally, four alumni retained their seats in the Minnesota House, each of whom have received a Master of Arts from SMU. The group of four will be entering their second terms, including David Bly M’04 (DFL-Northfield), Carolyn Laine M’03 (DFL-Columbia Heights), Robin Brown M’99 (DFL-Austin), and Will Morgan M’99 (DFL-Burnsville).
We salute all alumni who ran for public office. Whether your race was national, state, city or within a school board, you are working hard to make a difference. Saint Mary’s acknowledges your effort and congratulates you for trying to build a better tomorrow.
