"Kamala Harris and Tim Walz grew up just like me. And I know, I know they will fight for all of us," Peters said. "They will make it easier to raise our families and to retire with dignity. Just look at the record. As vice president, Kamala Harris helped pass legislation that finally, finally allowed Medicare to negotiate and lower the cost of prescription drugs."

Ken Stribling, president of the National United Committee to Protect Pensions, also addressed the crowd, saying, "As president, I know Kamala Harris will have our backs. She will fight for our retirement, Social Security and Medicare."
