Minnesota’s first lady Gwen Walz, a lifelong educator who could soon graduate to the nation’s second lady as her husband Tim Walz runs for vice president on the Kamala Harris ticket, took a break from packing for the Democratic National Convention to hop on a call with Utah women.
The Zoom call raised over $50,000 from hundreds of individual donors, and featured some of the state’s top woman Democrats.Minnesota’s first lady Gwen Walz, a lifelong educator who could soon graduate to the nation’s second lady as her husband Tim Walz runs to be Kamala Harris’ No. 2, took a break from packing for the upcoming Democratic National Convention to hop on a Zoom call with hundreds of women supporting the campaign in Utah — not all of them Democrats.
She told stories about observing her husband’s character as she taught alongside him. She also recalled the couple’s difficulty having children and how important it was to them to be able to turn to fertility treatments. The “Utah Women for Kamala” call headlined by Walz set out to raise $47,000 for the Harris campaign. At the end of two dozen speakers who largely echoed Walz’s sentiments, they brought in more than $50,000 from hundreds of donors.
“I don’t think that it’s going to be a surprise to any of you when I say that Utah’s electoral votes are probably not going to Kamala Harris this year,” Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, one of Utah’s most powerful Democrats, told participants. “But that does not mean that we, as Utah women, are off of the hook. We have to do everything that we can to ensure that Vice President Harris and Gov. Tim Walz can win nationwide.
