Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz, wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz, on Tuesday will make her first visit to Nevada since her husband joined the ticket.
She will meet in Las Vegas with campaign volunteers and participate in an Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander celebration.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, visited Henderson last week as part of the campaign’s New Way Forward tour. The two candidates and their spouses have been barnstorming key battleground states.
“Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz are fighting for a new way forward that protects our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead,” Harris-Walz campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
