DPVA Chair Susan Swecker Congratulates Gov. Tim Walz on Being Chosen as Vice Presidential Candidate

August 6, 2024

DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker released this statement following Vice President Kamala Harris' announcement of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate:

“Tim Walz represents all of what a true leader is – someone who is a fighter, a helper, a teacher, and a kind-hearted person. As a governor, congressman, and longtime educator, he has proven that he is laser-focused on solving real problems that impact working-class families. A Harris-Walz administration will advance the historic progress Democrats have made in improving the daily lives of Virginians and Americans and block MAGA Republicans’ dangerous and extreme plans. We are looking forward to spending every minute over the next three months working to elect the Harris-Walz ticket.”
