Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz resigned from his post as chair of the Democratic Governors Association on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris selected him to be her running mate.

Once Walz became a candidate for federal office, he was no longer allowed to chair the organization, according to its bylaws.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, the vice chair, will replace Walz in the top slot of the group that seeks to elect more Democratic governors nationally. Walz plans to continue to serve as Minnesota’s governor as he seeks higher office.
