Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty formally has thrown his hat into the presidential ring.
Pawlenty first announced his plan to seek the 2012 Republican presidential nomination on his website on Sunday.
Speaking before a crowd of supporters, Pawlenty spoke of his blue collar roots.
"At a young age I learned the value of leaning into my faith in God in challenging times and in all times. I saw the value of a loving family that rallied around each other in times of crisis. I learned the value of hard work and the responsibility for doing my part."
