LOS ANGELES, CA — Today, California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) released the following statement in response to Presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ running mate decision of Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz.
Statement from Mike Young, Sr. Political and Organizing Director, California Environmental Voters:
“Governor Walz’s visionary leadership in Minnesota has set a powerful example for meaningful climate action. Notable achievements during his tenure include delivering historic legislation to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2040, increasing access to electric vehicles, implementing policies to assess climate impacts in environmental justice communities, and replacing lead pipes to ensure clean water for Minnesotans.
As we face the escalating impacts of climate change, the selection of a Vice President with a proven track record in climate advocacy is a decisive step forward. Governor Walz brings the experience, passion, and commitment needed to advance national climate policies that will protect generations to come. We’re confident that Harris and Walz are the best choice to build on the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic progress.”
