NextGen America President Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez released the following statement:
“Young voters are excited to see Kamala Harris declare Tim Walz as her running mate. Governor Walz is a proven champion of our youth movement, helping to pass significant legislation during his time in office that protects our rights, fights for climate justice, and builds a stronger economy for everyday people. In the past few years alone, Governor Walz has championed progressive change in Minnesota – enshrining abortion rights, establishing paid sick and family leave, enacting a nation-leading child tax credit, and signing 40 climate initiatives into law. Together, we know Harris and Walz will be unrelenting champions for our youth agenda.
“In 2020, young voters turned out at historic levels to propel Democrats to victory, and this year will be no different. NextGen PAC is dedicated to mobilizing and turning out young voters to create a progressive future – and that starts with electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as our next President and Vice President. MAGA Republicans want to rule us, not represent us. Whether it’s attacking our rights and freedoms or just being straight up weird, Trump, JD Vance, and MAGA Republicans do not represent young people or the future we wish to build.”
