Vice President Kamala Harris is No Stranger to Service

VP Harris began preparing for the role of a politician when she was young. “Living a life of service is something I was raised to feel a sense of responsibility to do—as do all of us, in various ways. And for me, it’s in elected office,“ the chief told Wanga.
