We look forward to supporting a young, fearless candidate in Kamala Harris that is committed to defending our democracy and fundamental freedoms while prosecuting the case against Donald Trump, a convicted felon. Her candidacy has brought a new surge of energy, excitement, and unity that has been felt across the country in both historic fundraising records and grassroots volunteer mobilization.”
