Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be in Southern California starting Sunday as part of a three-day fundraising blitz through California and Washington, according to the Harris-Walz campaign.
Walz, who is Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ running mate, is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles Sunday night, after speaking at an afternoon campaign reception in San Diego on behalf of the Harris Victory Fund, followed by another campaign reception in Montecito in Santa Barbara County that evening.
The Harris-Walz campaign has yet to provide details about Walz’s visit to Los Angeles, though his schedule shows him arriving in L.A. around 8:45 p.m. Sunday, then landing at King County International Airport in Seattle, Monday night.
Walz is scheduled to speak at a campaign reception in Seattle on Tuesday morning before flying back to California to deliver remarks at a reception in Sacramento on Tuesday afternoon.
Walz’s visit to the West Coast comes days after he took part in the first and only vice presidential debate against Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who is former President Donald Trump’s running mate.
In recent weeks, candidates for both campaigns have spent time in Southern California, a cash cow for politicians.
Since February, there have been more than a dozen campaign fundraisers in L.A. and Orange counties headlined by some of the biggest names in presidential politics, including President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff – in addition to visits by Trump, Harris, Vance and Walz.
