True fact: I have voted for Kamala Harris in every election she has stood in. Not stopping now.
@Animeraider Really? I actually like to hear from people who have followed someone's career personally!
What can you tell us about her that made you like her enough to vote for her?
(I think she's likely to be the candidate, so I'd like to know your take)
@AskTheDevil She started out as the District Atty in San Francisco, an election she won with the backing of San Francisco Powerhouse Willie Brown and future Mayor/governor Gavin Newsom. She was a prosecutor in the City before that.
At first I backed because Willie did. Willie in his prime was shockingly shrewd.
Gavin became mayor and many of his reforms were also Harris' reforms.
When Gavin was termed out he ran for Lt. Governor and Harris ran for state Atty. General. They both won.

As Atty. General she helped sue the mortgage industry and got a record-setting settlement from banks and lenders for homeowners in California. She officiated the first LGBGTQ+ Wedding in California after Prop 8 was overturned (Gavin had done a few before it was passed).
She and Gavin made a deal. Always support each other, and if one runs for Senate the other runs for Governor, and that's exactly what happened.
I could go on for days...
