About this episode
This week, Vice President Kamala Harris will officially accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. But before she burst onto the national stage, Harris got her start here in the Bay Area. She was born in Oakland, raised in Berkeley, and worked as a prosecutor in Alameda County and in San Francisco, where she served as District Attorney from 2004 to 2010. So today, we're revisiting this episode from January 2019 — back when Harris first ran for president — about how Bay Area politics shaped her. Learn more about your ad choices.
