Walz supported by environmental organizations
These actions and others have resulted in a chorus of environmental organizations speaking out in favor of his VP candidacy:
Ben Jealous of the Sierra Club said “the Harris-Walz ticket is one that understands the fight before us”
Bill Holland of the League of Conservation Voters said “we could not be more excited about Governor Walz’s leadership on climate”
Al Gore said Walz “is a proven leader on climate and knows the issue inside and out.”
California Environmental Voters declared him a “climate champion” (as did the New York Times)
In addition to all of this, Walz is just the VP pick, alongside current US Vice President Kamala Harris who is running at the top of the ticket. And her administration’s accomplishments on EVs and climate have been significant.
