Rep Peters: Tim Walz is a Brilliant Choice, Will be an Excellent VP
San Diego, CA – Today, Representative Scott Peters (CA-50) released the following statement in support of the next Vice President, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz:
“Vice President Harris has made a brilliant choice in tapping Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. Tim is a friend and one of the finest leaders I’ve come across in my time in Congress. I got to know Tim especially well when I was a member of the Veterans Affairs Committee and he served as our Ranking Member. As the highest ever ranking enlisted servicemember in Congress, his deep care and sense of duty to our troops and veterans shown every day. He has immense respect and support from all of us who served with him because of the type of leader he was and continues to be. As Vice President he will be an effective bridge to the House and Senate and will be instrumental in passing the Harris-Walz agenda.
“Tim is a lifelong public servant: a teacher, a coach, a mentor, a soldier – someone Americans of all political persuasions can identify with and trust. He won and held a deep red district for over a decade because he relates to the people he serves. He delivered major, popular policy wins as governor supported by the vast majority of Minnesotans, not just Democrats. He will campaign to swing voters in the Midwest and battleground states in the same way — relating to their struggles, sharing in their hopes, and uplifting their voices. Tim Walz is a phenomenal Vice-Presidential candidate and will be an excellent Vice President.”
