UDW Executive Director Doug Moore on Kamala Harris’ Vice Presidential Pick: Tim Walz

“UDW is thrilled to see Kamala Harris, a dedicated advocate for care workers and families, select Tim Walz as her Vice Presidential running mate. As Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of working families, particularly through his efforts to expand access to affordable healthcare, invest in education, and support labor rights.

“Governor Walz’s work on increasing funding for public health programs and championing paid family and medical leave aligns perfectly with our mission at UDW. His leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritizing the safety and well-being of care workers, showcased his dedication to those who are the backbone of our healthcare system.

“Together, Harris and Walz represent a powerful team that understands the critical importance of care in our communities. Their combined leadership and vision show a commitment to the labor movement and promise a future where care workers are valued, respected, and supported. We look forward to supporting this dynamic duo as they work to build a stronger, more equitable America.”
