John, it’s official: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is running alongside Kamala Harris as her vice presidential pick.

Gov. Walz – a former school teacher and public school grad from a rural community in Minnesota – fully embodies our belief that everyone and anyone can lead, no matter your background. His lived experience will bring a fresh perspective to one of the highest offices in the country.

At Run for Something, we couldn’t be more excited to help build enthusiasm for the top of the ticket this November, but we need your help. Will you join us and make a $5 donation today?

Gov. Walz is proof that having a nontraditional background can be an asset to running for office. He’s got a record that shows a passion for protecting our reproductive freedoms, advocating for underrepresented groups and the LGBTQIA+ community and stopping Moms for Liberty in its tracks. 

The Run for Something team is actively recruiting, training and electing diverse, young progressives at the state and local level all across the country who have personal stories like Tim Walz. 

But our work is only possible because of the support we receive from dedicated Democrats like you. That’s why we’ve set an urgent $50,000 fundraising goal for our continued recruitment and support efforts across the country.

So please, chip in $5 or whatever you can right now so that we can get committed progressive candidates on the ballot who will boost support for the top of the ticket this November!

Let's do this,

Amanda Litman
