Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris has been solidifying her place in the history books since 2003 when she was elected the first African-American and South Asian American woman to become District Attorney in San Francisco’s history. Within two terms, her office has increased conviction rates for serious and violent offenses, expanded services to victims of crime and their families, and doubled its trial conviction rate for gun felonies to 90 percent. She made history again on November 2, 2010 when she was elected California Attorney General, a role for which she will be the first African American and South Asian American woman in California. She assumes her position on January 3, 2011.
