Response to Senator Harris being selected as the Democratic Nominee for Vice President

LOS ANGELES, CA --  In response to Vice President Biden selecting Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chair Mark J. Gonzalez released the following statement: 

“From Shirley Chisholm, to Carol Moseley Braun, to Hillary Clinton, Democratic women have been our party’s backbone. I’m thrilled that our US Senator, Kamala Harris, has been selected as our party’s nominee for Vice-President along side Joe Biden. The daughter of immigrants, Senator Harris’ long, distinguished career not only as a public servant fighting for justice, but her continuous fight for working families all across our country is exactly what our nation needs in this crucial time. Senator Harris is a member of the Los Angeles County Central Committee, and we could not be more proud and excited for her. We’re 84 days away from this election, and Los Angeles County Democrats are fired up and ready to do everything we can to make sure Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are elected this November.”
