Democrat vice presidential nominee's wife Gwen Walz calls on teachers to get out the vote

Gwen Walz made her first Arizona trip of the 2024 presidential race on Monday, telling a group of educators that teachers can significantly impact the election if they join the campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort.

“This is a moment to bring our country together, and no one is better than bringing us together than our teachers,” Walz said during a meet-and-greet with members of the Arizona Education Association in Phoenix. “I am so proud to support a ticket with a vision for the future that everyone can be a part of. Not just some, everyone.”

The Minnesota first lady hit the campaign trail for her husband, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Vice President Kamala Harris. She encouraged educators to recruit volunteers, make phone calls and even talk to neighbors on the other side of the aisle to build support for Harris and Walz.

“If you have an undecided neighbor, have that conversation again and again. If there's a lawn sign maybe you don't love in someone's yard, don't avoid those conversations. Let's have them anyway. So much is at stake,” Walz said.
