Vice President Harris has proven herself to be a tough and principled fighter for working people and a leader we can count on to deliver for us and uphold our values. Here’s a preview of what you need to know about her record as a champion for working people.
As vice president, Harris:
- Played a critical role in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, investing in good-paying union jobs, bringing manufacturing back to America, lowering prescription drug costs and raising wages.
- Saved the pensions of more than 1 million union workers and retirees.
- Led the administration’s efforts to increase access to affordable child care and expand the child tax credit.
As a U.S. senator, Kamala Harris:
- Introduced the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights to guarantee domestic workers protections against harassment and discrimination, meal breaks, a guaranteed minimum wage and overtime pay.
- Introduced legislation to extend overtime rights and guarantee new minimum wage rights to agricultural workers.
- Strongly supported the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a landmark bill to reform our broken labor laws that stack the deck against workers.
- Walked the picket line in 2019 with the UAW at the General Motors facility near Reno, Nevada.
With Kamala Harris in the White House, together we’ll continue to build the labor movement, expand the middle class and make our economy work for all of us. Together, we can and will defeat Donald Trump, JD Vance and their anti-worker Project 2025 agenda in November.
