Washington D.C. – Following reports that Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket, People For the American Way President Svante Myrick released the following statement:
“We’re thrilled that Vice President Harris has chosen Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Governor Walz’s record in Minnesota – standing up for reproductive freedom, health care, and public education, while delivering historically low unemployment in the state – shows that he is committed to improving the lives of everyday people. His background as a teacher, member of Congress and member of the Army National Guard shows his deep dedication to public service. Tim Walz shares the values we have at People For the American Way: that government is above all a force for good and public service is one of the highest callings in our democracy. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represent the promise and excitement of a better future for all of us. We can’t wait to see them sworn in as President and Vice President.”
