Statement from The Executive Committee of 
The Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC)

The Executive Committee of the Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC) – representing the 57 State Democratic Parties across the country and around the world – proudly announces its full support and endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the office of President of the United States of America in this, the most consequential election of our lifetimes. 

Ken Martin, ASDC President and Chair of the Minnesota DFL, says:

“Following President Biden’s announcement, our members immediately assembled to unite behind the candidate who has a track record of winning tough elections, and who is a proven leader on the issues that matter to Americans: reproductive freedom, gun violence prevention, climate protection, justice reform, and rebuilding the economy.

That person is our sitting Vice President Kamala Harris.

Already in 2024, almost 15 million Americans have cast a vote in favor of our Vice President as a part of the Democratic ticket. As a Black woman and a South Asian American, Kamala Harris reflects the rich diversity of our Democratic coalition and our country. Having served alongside President Biden, she is ready on day one as a candidate and as our next President. 

We are deeply grateful to President Biden for all he’s done for the Democratic Party and for our country: defeating Donald Trump, and the existential threat he posed – and still poses – to our democracy; spearheading our national economic recovery, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal; making historic investments in climate change prevention and student loan forgiveness; and, now, his selfless courage in stepping aside to ensure we can win in November and continue his legacy of building back better.

The stakes in this election could not be higher. The choice before voters could not be more stark. That’s why the Executive Committee of the ASDC proudly and enthusiastically supports Vice President Harris as she takes her rightful place at the top of our Democratic ticket, and will fight tirelessly alongside her to defeat Donald Trump this November.”
