Gwen Walz kicks off LGBTQ+ voter mobilization initiative in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA— On the eve of National Coming Out Day, Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz emphasized the impact that voters motivated by LGBTQ+ issues can have on the upcoming presidential election.
“Kamala and Tim are underdogs in this race, and how is it possible?” Walz said to a room of supporters at Independence Visitors Center in Old City. “But you know what? Equality voters can help make the difference.”
Walz’s appearance in Philadelphia was her first solo campaign trip to Pennsylvania since her husband, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, joined Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s candidate for vice president.
The event on Thursday evening was the kickoff of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Out For Harris-Walz coalition’s “10 Days of Action,” which aims to mobilize voters in battleground states who view LGBTQ+ rights as a priority for them.
