Statements
Today, former Minneapolis City Council Member Don Samuels—a candidate for U.S. Congress
in Minnesota’s Fifth District in a rematch with Rep. Ilhan Omar—issued the following statement
on Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice presidential
running mate.
“Vice President Kamala Harris’s pick of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is exciting for those of us
who’ve had a front-row seat to the power of his pragmatic approach to progressive leadership
and his ability to bring people together to address the challenges we face—including a balanced
approach to public safety, record investments in K-12 education, and the codification of
reproductive rights into state law.”
