Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz to campaign at Milwaukee LaborFest
WASHINGTON – Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz will speak at LaborFest in Milwaukee on Monday to celebrate Labor Day — his third stop in Wisconsin since becoming Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.
Walz will be joined by his wife, Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz, at the Milwaukee Area Labor Council's event, the Harris campaign said Friday. The campaign earlier this week said the Walzes would be in Milwaukee but on Friday confirmed the stop at LaborFest 2024.
"As part of the most pro-union administration in history, Vice President Harris has created millions of good-paying jobs," the campaign said in announcing the visit. "Governor Walz, a former union member himself, passed the most pro-worker package of laws in Minnesota’s history — making it easier to form unions, strengthening worker protections, cracking down on union-busting, and giving workers paid leave."
Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin will appear alongside the Walzes at the event, Baldwin's campaign told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Friday.
