Governor Stephen Roe Lewis of the Gila River Indian Community opened the Democratic presidential rally with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Glendale, Arizona, on August 9, 2024.
“I understand this may have been the largest crowd for a political rally in Arizona,” Chairman Terry Rambler said of the Harris-Walz event that took place on tribal homelands.
“We are proud to be among the first Tribes in the country to formally endorse the Harris-Walz ticket,” said San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler.
Well before Kamala Harris brought her Midwest running mate on board, Native Democrats highlighted Minnesota as a state to watch in the 2024 presidential campaign.
