“As a Republican, I choose to proudly support Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president,” wrote Brodkorb.
On character and values: “This election is about reaffirming that character still matters in our politics. It is about defending the values that first drew me to the Republican Party and ensuring that those values, such as defending the Constitution instead of suspending it, have a place in our country’s future,” wrote Brodkorb.
On Harris: “Harris is qualified, capable and committed to the country’s best interests. While I may disagree with her on many policy issues, I do not doubt her love for this country or her dedication to its institutions,” wrote Brodkorb.
On Walz: “I watched Walz go from congressman to governor, and I have come to respect him. He embodies a joyful politics that serves as a welcome reprieve from the divisiveness that has become so prevalent in our political discourse. It is in Walz’s political DNA to unite people, and he is the right person to serve alongside Harris,” wrote Brodkorb.
