YUMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff visited Yuma County Saturday to campaign for his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The visit comes a week after First Lady Dr. Jill Biden visited Yuma to also campaign for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Reproductive rights and the nation's economy were some of the topics Second Gentleman Emhoff touched on his "Get Out the Vote" Tour in Yuma County as we are less than three weeks away from Election Day.
Emhoff stated one of the things Vice President Harris would focus on as president: "Lower taxes [for] not just for Elon Musk and his buddies, but over 100 million Americans, tax deductions to cover start up costs for small businesses, [and] expanding the child tax credit to make it easier to start your family."
Somerton City Council member and School Board member Juan Castillo also shared what it means for Vice President Harris to choose Governor Walz as her running mate.




"Coach is a former educator himself and has been fighting for us his entire career," Castillo explained.

Nearly 300 community members attended the rally, with the chairwoman for the Arizona Democratic Party, Yolanda Bejarano, hoping events like the one in Somerton motivate people to hit the polls.
"It gets people to understand that Vice President Harris cares about the community. She has been visiting Arizona nonstop," Bejarano expressed.
But the tour did not end there as the second gentleman made a quick stop at local staple Mr. G's before kicking off a canvass launch.

Emhoff's last stop was knocking on some doors, talking to local voters, with one voter sharing that reproductive rights is the biggest issue she's focused on as she has six granddaughters.
In addition, the visit comes after early voting began in Arizona on October 9. To know where early voting and ballot drop locations are available in the state, including here in Yuma, click HERE.
