Washington, DC – Following Kamala Harris’ announcement today that she selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice-presidential running mate, Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center Action Fund, released the following statement:
“Tim Walz’s strong progressive record, legislative and executive leadership experience, and demonstrated efforts to put families first make him an excellent pick to be Kamala Harris’ running mate. As a vice president herself, Kamala Harris recognizes the value of having a capable and compassionate governing partner who can hit the ground running on day one.
From working to ensure that all students receive the best education possible, to defending abortion access, to championing investments in the care economy, and strengthening LGBTQI+ rights, Tim Walz is someone we can rely on to protect and defend our fundamental freedoms. He and Kamala Harris are the pair who will beat Donald Trump and JD Vance and their dangerous MAGA agenda. We look forward to working with them in the White House.”
