According to the fact check from Breitbart:
**Rating: FALSE**
The claim made by Tim Walz that Ronald Reagan was the "last union member" to be on a national ticket is incorrect. While Reagan did have some connections to labor unions and even had union members in his administration, there were other union members who ran for national office after him.
The fact check cites several examples of union members who ran for vice president or presidential nominations after Reagan's presidency, including:
* Jesse Jackson, a former union organizer, ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988.
* Tom Barrett, a Milwaukee alderman and labor leader, was the Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin in 2002.
