Following the news that Joe Biden has chosen Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra released the following statement:
“Joe Biden’s first presidential decision is choosing a fighter as his running mate, and there is absolutely no doubt that Kamala Harris will be ready on day one to take on the big fights ahead. As a Senator, she’s gone toe to toe with Brett Kavanaugh in Senate hearings and held the Administration accountable on issues ranging from corruption, to women’s rights, and election interference. She is the right person at the right time to take on Donald Trump and Mike Pence on the campaign trail.
“We made history here in Maine two years ago when we elected Janet Mills as our first woman Governor. More women are serving in our State Legislature than ever before. And this November, Mainers will be key to electing Kamala Harris as the first woman Vice President alongside Joe Biden. With just 12 weeks to election day, our grassroots operation will do everything in our power to ensure we defeat Donald Trump and send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House.”
