Democratic-NPL Chair reacts to VP Debate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
October 1, 2024

FARGO – Tuesday night, Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance debated on CBS.

Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn released this statement following the debate:

“Political preferences aside, every Upper-midwestern should be proud of Gov. Tim Walz. Walz has devoted his life to public education, and ran for office after his students encouraged him. JD Vance on the other hand has been groomed by Silicon Valley types to do their bidding in Congress: to give massive handouts to billionaires and big corporations and give Trump unprecedented, unchecked power to do whatever he wants. Vance wrote a book foreword for the architect of the Project 2025 agenda, calling on far-right extremists to ‘circle the wagons and load the muskets’ while praising the Project 2025 agenda as an ‘essential weapon,’ and tried to hide his extremism behind lie after lie after lie. Governor Walz was right: all Vance could do was ‘give a damn non-answer’ to even the most basic questions.

Walz passed the largest bipartisan infrastructure bill in Minnesota history, cracked down on junk fees to lower costs for Minnesota families, stood up for fundamental freedoms, and made Minnesota the first state to pass a law codifying abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe and stripped tens of millions of Americans of the right to make their own medical decisions.

We saw a clear distinction between these two men tonight: one will lie to you for Donald Trump and one will fight for you and your family. Upper-midwesterners are lucky to have a role model like Walz.”

DNC Announces Five Figure Investment in the North Dakota Democratic-NPL for Final Push in November

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
September 27, 2024

FARGO – Today, the Democratic National Committee announced nearly $40,000 in funding to the North Dakota Democratic-NPL as part of investments to dozens of states, reaching a cycle benchmark of targeted campaign investments in all 57 states and territories as we hit the final stretch for November’s elections.

Leveraging its record-breaking fundraising, this historic investment in dozens of state parties totals nearly $2.5 million in targeted resource deployment for the final stretch to November. These funds, allocated to both traditionally red and blue states, will help strengthen coordinated campaigns and boost Democratic wins in down-ballot races, like in North Dakota.

“The DNC is committed to electing Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, and ensuring Democrats are competing everywhere to offer residents of blue and red states alike a New Way Forward through investments up and down the ballot,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison.

“Today’s announced campaign investment in the North Dakota Democratic-NPL shows that priority in action. North Dakota Democratic-NPLers will ensure working families can get ahead, while standing up to Trump and Republicans’ extreme agenda to rip away Americans’ most fundamental rights. With Vice President Harris at the helm and record-breaking investments in coordinated campaigns, the DNC and Democratic state parties across the country have the momentum to strengthen coordinated operations in the critical final stretch to November to deliver wins for Democrats and all North Dakotans.”

North Dakota Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn said, “Showing up everywhere is critical for the success of the Democratic Party. We are incredibly grateful to receive these funds so we can spread our message that Democrats will fund our public schools, protect our reproductive freedom and health privacy, and fight to lower the costs of our healthcare and groceries. Expect to see more folks knocking on doors and making calls across our state!”

Walz is excellent VP Choice, says Dem-NPL Chair

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
August 7, 2024

FARGO – North Dakota Democratic-NPLers are excited about Vice-President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Governor Walz was the keynote speaker at the 2023 Democratic-NPL Burdick Dinner.

North Dakota Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn “We couldn’t be more thrilled to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Walz is a champion for children and families, labor, freedom, and rural America.

The difference between the Harris-Walz ticket and Trump-Vance is night and day. Earlier at a rally in Eau Claire, some attendees were overheated and needed water. Walz stopped his speech to ensure they were helped, and said “‘Take care of your neighbors.’ Meanwhile, J.D. Vance couldn’t even answer the question ‘What makes you happy?’ Voters have a clear choice this election: kindness and joy or cruelty and creepiness.”
