US EditionWalz Launches 'Small Town PAC' in Attempt to Regain Democratic Voters in Rural America
The committee aims to back rural Democratic candidates as Walz says the party needs new faces and fresh ideas, he said.
- On Monday, Gov. Tim Walz launched the Small Town PAC to recruit and support Democrat candidates in rural areas across the country, aiming to find new leaders who understand small-town needs.
- This effort draws on Walz's background in a small town in Nebraska and his experience flipping a red 1st Congressional District in Minnesota, crediting organizing infrastructure built by Democrat Paul Wellstone.
- "We need a new generation of elected leaders," Walz said, emphasizing Democrats need fresh faces who can "represent their communities better than Silicon Valley can."
- Walz, who serves as finance chair for the Democratic Governors Association, remains focused on his final legislative session ending May 18, having previously said, "There's other ways to serve."
- His initiative provides insight into how Walz might utilize his platform after exiting the 2026 gubernatorial race, though the PAC timeline remains unclear before his term ends in January 2027.
