Vice President Kamala Harris was raised in a middle-class family by a working mother who taught her to believe in the promise of America. She became a prosecutor, specializing in cases of child sexual abuse. After winning election as district attorney, she took on issues like domestic violence and gun violence.
As attorney general of a border state and chief law enforcement officer of the largest state in the nation, Kamala cracked down on transnational criminal organizations trafficking drugs and vulnerable migrants across the border. She took on the big banks and predatory for-profit colleges, winning billions of dollars in damages for the American people who had been harmed.
As a United States Senator, Kamala championed legislation to raise wages and bring down costs for families - on health care, housing, child care, college and more. She fought for the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water, the freedom to vote, and common sense policies to keep our communities safe.
As Vice President, Kamala is leading the fight to bring down health care costs, casting the deciding vote to lower drug prices and cap insulin prices for seniors. She oversees the first-ever White House Office of Gun Prevention, working tirelessly to address the epidemic of gun violence.
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Kamala has led the fight to restore reproductive freedom and support health care providers. She will strengthen Social Security and Medicare and will make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.
Just as she’s done all her life, Kamala Harris is running for President to fight for the people and build an economy that delivers stability, security, and opportunity to all Americans - for today and for the next generation.
