[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress



I wanted to check in because there’s a lot going on.

Today is a really big day: Vice President Kamala Harris has picked
Governor Tim Walz to serve as her running mate, and her Vice President
once we work to elect her in November.

I think he’s a great pick.

I think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz together show what America is actually
about, and what our values actually are.

We’re in a very exciting moment, but our success is directly correlated to
how we translate this energy into actions.

for. Will you split a $5 contribution between our campaign
and Team Harris/Walz to power our fight for the White House and the House
of Representatives?

Tim Walz served in the National Guard and was a teacher, football coach,
and union member for 20 years before ever running for office. He then
served in the House of Representatives for over a decade, and a lot of
folks that served with him all say the same thing: he’s a good, genuine
guy who understands the needs of working families, just like the one he
grew up in.

As Governor, Tim had to work with a razor-thin majority in the Minnesota
State Legislature, and he used that tiny majority to govern boldly: he
signed universal school lunch into law, banned conversion therapy,
protected abortion rights on the state level, lowered the cost of insulin
to $35 per month, and ushered in many other powerful policy changes to
serve everyday people.

Not a lot of leaders do that. When a governor only has a handful of votes
for a majority, they are often advised to stay small and play it safe. To
not rock the boat.

But Tim didn’t do that. He understands that true leadership is about using
the power we have, when we have it, to change everyday life for the
better. He swung for the fences to fight for rural families, women, LGBT+
communities, civil rights, and more. He governed in a way that said: “When
you’ve got the keys, drive as far as you can.”

We are in a time where Republicans have tried to stoke stereotypes and
divisions between rural America, urban America, and suburban America that
simply aren’t true. I have had the privilege of seeing and connecting with
many of you across the country, and the big thing that you learn is: most
of us want the same things.

We care about putting food on our tables. About being able to afford rent,
or a mortgage, or medicine. We care about being able to go to the doctor
without going bankrupt, and having the right to choose over our own
bodies.

We don’t get progress on anything if Donald Trump and JD Vance are within
any shot of the presidency this November.

power our fight to win the White House and the House of Representatives
this November? Every dollar goes to Team Harris/Walz and our grassroots
movement for a brighter future for all.

Now, with just 91 days until the election, we have to do everything we can
to make sure that Kamala and Tim can keep building on that progress.
They’ve always stood up for working people, and they always will. But they
can’t do it alone.

Whether this is your first time voting or you've been an activist your
whole life, this is the moment to pick up phones, to knock doors, to
donate to the people you want to represent you, and organize for the
future we want to see for our country.

Let’s get to work.

Pa’lante,

Alexandria
