PHOENIX — Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been selected as the next chair of the Democratic Governors Association(DGA).
"I look forward to taking that record of winning and delivering to this role, and building on the DGA’s record of success as we have an exciting map of eleven governor’s races next year,” said Walz in a statement.
Walz was elected to the post by his 23 fellow Democratic governors at the DGA's annual meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.
The new role will boost Walz's national profile as he works to elect more Democratic governors nationwide, with 11 such opportunities coming in 2024.
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly was reelected to serve as DGA Vice Chair for 2024.
