Kamala Harris
As San Francisco’s first female district attorney, and the first African American woman in California to hold the DA office, Kamala Harris is used to being a trailblazer.

As a candidate for California’s Attorney General, can Kamala Harris carry the “smart on crime” philosophy to Sacramento?
