TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Douglas Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, spoke in downtown Tucson ahead of a trip to Nevada as part of the Harris-Walz 2024 campaign.
His stop in Tucson was meant to spotlight reproductive freedom, a key issue in Tuesday's Presidential Debate.
Arizona voters face a decision this fall on a constitutional amendment that would expand abortion access.
“Arizona women are already living under an abortion ban, and this amendment offers a crucial opportunity to protect their reproductive rights,” Emhoff said ahead of his visit.
Emhoff next heads to Henderson, Nevada, where he will meet with campaign volunteers and participate in a phone bank.
In addition to Emhoff's stops, other Harris-Walz surrogates will host events aimed at key voter groups in Arizona.
In Phoenix, former Trump advisor Olivia Troye and Mesa Mayor John Giles will lead a "Republicans for Harris-Walz" event, while Congressman Jason Crow will headline a veterans event in Columbus, Georgia.
On Friday, Emhoff will campaign in Florida, engaging seniors at The Villages to discuss Medicare and Social Security.
