Kamala Harris is a United States Senator from California who is one of the Democratic presidential candidates in a crowded 2020 field. Harris, who is a former Attorney General of California and District Attorney of San Francisco, has been a U.S. Senator since 2017.

The Senator is a supporter of single-payer healthcare, the descheduling of marijuana, and protection for undocumented immigrants.

“I’m running for president of the United States and I’m very excited about it,” she said while announcing her presidential bid on Good Morning America on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “I’m honored to be able to make my announcement on the day that we commemorate Dr. King.

“I have the unique experience of having been a leader in local government, state government, and federal government. The American public wants a fighter … and I’m prepared to do that.”

As she attempts to become the first female president in the history of the United States, Harris has already broken down a number of barriers. She became just the third female Senator in the history of California and the first Senator of Jamaican or Indian ancestry.

My whole life, I’ve only had one client: the people.⁣ ⁣ Fighting for the people meant fighting on behalf of survivors of sexual assault — a fight not just against predators but a fight against silence and stigma.⁣ ⁣ For the people meant fighting for a fairer criminal justice system. At a time when prevention and redemption were not in the vocabulary or mindset of most district attorneys, we created an initiative to get skills and job training instead of jail time for young people arrested for drugs.⁣ ⁣ For the people meant fighting for middle-class families who had been defrauded by banks and were losing their homes by the millions in the Great Recession. We went after the five biggest banks in the United States and won $20 billion for California homeowners and together we passed the strongest anti-foreclosure law in the United States of America. We did that together.⁣ ⁣ And as President, I’ll have that same fighting spirit for the people.
