Second gentleman Doug Emhoff will campaign for Democratic special election candidate Melanie Stansbury in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday, a source with knowledge of the plans confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

It will be the first time that Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has campaigned for a candidate since Inauguration Day and assuming his role as second gentleman, the first time a male has occupied the traditionally lower-profile spousal role.
