If you have been keeping tabs on Senator Harris, then you might have picked up her intentions for running for the U.S. presidency come 2020 in her book ‘The Truths We Hold: An American Journey’ that was released earlier this year.
American politicians looking to create a wide support base across the vast country sometimes employ book release as a way to reach out in-person to the voters. Already, her campaign team has released a promotional video outlining the theme of Senator Harris candidacy and the slogan ‘For the people.’

That slogan has been the mantra of her public defender career, given she rose up the ranks in courts with the saying, ‘Kamala Harris, for the people.’ Her campaign team has also revealed they will be headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland and have a second office in Oakland, California.
Senator Harris was elected into the Senate in 2016, and she has proven a voice to reckon with when it comes to matters championing women rights and empowerment. She is also an avid advocate for inclusion and diversity that has seen her also fight for people of colors.
