ST. PAUL, Minn. July 29, 2024 – More than 25 leaders of Minnesota’s labor movement are recommending that Vice President Kamala Harris choose Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, according to an open letter released Monday.
“As labor leaders, we know it is essential to choose a candidate for vice president who can deliver on working families’ priorities once in office and be an essential partner in winning in November,” the letter says.
Several leaders of organized labor in Minnesota will discuss their support for a national presidential ticket of Harris and Walz at a news conference at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 30, in the Capitol Press Conference Room, B971.
The letter is available here.
