Walz rolls out 'Small Town PAC' to rebuild Democrats' rural bench - strib [View all]
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is launching his next political endeavor: a federal political action committee that will seek to recruit and support Democrats in rural communities nationwide.
Walz announced the creation of the Small Town PAC on Monday, April 20, saying he wants to help build a new pipeline of candidates rooted in the places Democrats have struggled to win in recent years.
“It’s time for me to pass the baton and return the favor. And it’s time for Democrats to expand the map,” Walz said in a statement.
“I plan to find some teachers, some nurses, some laborers, vets, and young people in small towns across the country who can represent their communities better than Silicon Valley can,” he added. “We need a new generation of elected leaders in this country — and lord knows the Democrats need some new faces. So let’s go recruit some good people with energy and fresh ideas who actually understand small towns.”
