Kamala Harris began her professional career in 1990 as a deputy district attorney in Alameda County, California. She later served in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office and the City Attorney of San Francisco’s office, where her impressive work led to her election as district attorney of San Francisco in 2003. Harris continued her rise in public service by being elected Attorney General of California in 2011, a position she held until 2017 when she was elected as a U.S. Senator.
During her tenure in the Senate, Harris advocated for several major issues, including tax reforms, citizenship for immigrants, a ban on weapons, and healthcare reforms. Her national profile grew through her work as a senator, leading her to run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Although she later withdrew from the race, she endorsed Joe Biden and became his running mate as the vice-presidential candidate.
In the 2020 election, Harris and Biden defeated incumbent President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. She assumed office as the Vice President of the United States in January 2021, making history as the highest-ranking female elected official and the first-ever female vice president in U.S. history. On a personal note, Kamala Harris had a brief relationship with TV host Montel Williams in the early 2000s. Since 2014, she has been married to attorney Douglas Emhoff.
