What People are Saying...
"Behind the Veil" is a real contribution to understanding public service in any era. However, it is especially important now. Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka worked directly with Governor Tim Walz. Reading "Behind the Veil" will give you a much better understanding of the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate.

"In the tradition of Reagan, Paul combines his strong views with authentic efforts to treat people with civility and decency. His book shares that important leadership insight and many more”
Tim Pawlenty
Former Governor of Minnesota and Republican candidate for President
"Paul’s latest book is written from his perspective at the time as leader of the Minnesota Senate. It is a welcome and honest assessment relating to the events of the summer of 2020. It has taken courage for him to detail this report but it needs to be shared for all to see what actually happened."

“Paul Gazelka’s “Behind the Veil” is necessary reading as Americans contemplate a Harris/Walz administration. Tim Walz could be the most influential VP in recent times and former Minnesota senate majority leader Gazelka explains why we should be concerned about his reckless management of Minnesota. Gazelka also gives insights into how divided government can be made to work.”
Vin Weber
Former Republican Congressman from Minnesota
"Former Senate Majority Leader Gazelka’s new book, “Behind the Veil: A Stand Against Governor Tim Walz” is a thoughtful and compelling read for anyone interested in understanding what the lack of principled leadership by Governor Tim Walz did to the common good in a state known for its civility and good government. Rather than bringing Minnesotans together, Walz’s actions led our already divided citizenry to become further and more deeply divided – a sad legacy."

“Truly enjoyable read told with the sincerity , compassion and accuracy uncharacteristic in today’s politics “

"In the years of serving as the Senate Chaplain of Minnesota, I was so privileged to see the effect of Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka’s influence. Almost daily, in the middle of political conflict, after all of the arguments over significant issues were presented, I would see Paul stand and bring a word of wisdom that would offer honor and hope that would open the door to bring people together. In this book, Paul presents a firsthand view of the inner struggle that he had with our Governor who was often directly opposed to the principles that were a conviction to Paul’s heart and to those in our state that Paul would represent. In this, he shares His insight into a person to whom few in his position would have access. Leadership is more than just a position of title. It is the position of a heart. It is in Paul’s heart to be a peacemaker. But often the greater peace that is needed so much in our nation must come with exposing the truth in love. And I believe that it is in his heart to bring the truth to light out of love for Minnesota and for America."
