Maine Democratic Party Chair Bev Uhlenhake released the following statement on Vice President Kamala Harris’ announcement that she has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate:

“Governor Walz is a champion for America’s working families, his fellow veterans, and rural communities like the one he grew up in. As a father, former high school football coach, and educator, Governor Walz understands that there is nothing more important than building a future full of opportunities for all Americans. The Harris-Walz vision for America is one where everyone has a fair shot, our communities are safe, healthy, and thriving, and our fundamental freedoms are secure from government interference. The Maine Dems are ready to win all four of Maine’s electoral votes and help elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz this November!”
