Civilian Name: Kamala Harris

Super Name: The Captain

Superpower: Fearless

Origin: Presidential Promise

Kamala Harris is following in the footsteps of Shirley Chisholm. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, Harris announced that she would be running for president in the 2020 election. Just like Chisholm, Harris has dreams of changing some of the policies and laws that will help shape the United States of America in the direction many voters would like to see it go.

At a very young age Harris knew that she would enter the field of law and possibly go into politics. She attended Howard University, where she majored in economics as well as political science. Her presidential opponents should know that not only did she join the debate team in college, but also was a freshman class representative, which means she’s been ready for a leadership role.

After graduating, Harris went on to Hastings College of Law and in 2004 made history by becoming the first Black U.S. senator of California. In 2016, she went on to win the Senate election. While being Senator, Harris has supported the legalization of recreational marijuana, support health care for all, help pass the DREAM Act and lower taxes.

If elected to become president, Harris promises to fight for a middle class tax cut. Like all superheroes, Harris has a lot of obstacles to climb to get to the White House, but with her fearless attitude and strength she’s showing us that she has what it takes to get there.
