The South Carolina Democratic Party today announced that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (pictured) will serve as the speaker for the South Carolina Democratic Convention on Saturday, May 31, at the SC State Fairground in Columbia.
Governor Walz is a veteran, a former Vice Presidential nominee, and served as a Member of Congress. Now serving his second term, Gov. Walz has earned national recognition for his people-first approach to leadership. Under his administration, Minnesota has expanded access to education, protected reproductive rights, and invested in working families.
"Governor Tim Walz brings the kind of experience, heart, and vision that defines strong Democratic leadership," said South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain. “We are honored to welcome him to South Carolina to help rally Democrats around our shared values as we take on the GOP in 2026."
