Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris has built a distinguished career as a prosecutor and politician, culminating in her historic tenure as Vice President of the United States. She is recognized for her sharp legal acumen and dedication to public service. After becoming the first person of color elected District Attorney of San Francisco in 2003, Kamala Harris served from 2004 to 2011, having been re-elected in 2007. During her tenure, she prioritized clearing backlogged homicide cases, established a Hate Crimes Unit, and implemented the San Francisco Reentry Division to reduce recidivism.

Harris was selected as Joe Biden’s running mate, leading to their victory and her historic swearing-in as the 49th Vice President of the United States in January 2021. This made her the first woman, African American, and Asian American to hold the nation’s second-highest office. During her vice presidency from 2021 to 2025, Ms. Harris cast a record 33 tie-breaking votes in the U.S.

Harris was confirmed as the Democratic nominee for President, following President Biden’s withdrawal from the race, though she subsequently lost the November 2024 general election. Most recently, Ms. Harris was honored with the Chairman’s Prize at the 56th NAACP Image Awards in February 2025, recognizing her distinguished career in public service. She further expanded her impact with the release of her memoir, ‘107 Days,’ in September 2025, offering insights into her experiences and policies.
