Tim Walz

This week, the Democratic Party is holding its quadrennial convention in Chicago Illinois, the 11th time that the party has held its conference in the Windy City, where it is presenting its best storytellers and having them share with the American people their past achievements and, even more important, their vision for the future.

On Tuesday, August 6, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz, the present governor of Minnesota, as her VP running mate. He took office in 2019 after serving 12 years in the U.S. House of Representatives serving on the Agriculture, Amed Services and Veterans Affairs committees.
