Kamala Harris: First Female, First Woman of Color Elected Vice President

Historic Milestone for United States

Breaking Barriers in American Politics

Following the historic election of Joe Biden as President of the United States, Kamala Harris assumed office as Vice President on January 20, 2021, becoming the first woman and first woman of color to hold this position. As the 49th Vice President, Harris brings a wealth of experience as a prosecutor, politician, and advocate for equality.

Born in Oakland, California, Harris has dedicated her career to public service. She served as Attorney General of California from 2011 to 2017, where she played a key role in implementing criminal justice reforms and protecting the rights of all citizens.

Harris's journey to the vice presidency was marked by many firsts. She was the first woman to serve as California's Attorney General, the first woman of color to serve as a U.S. Senator from California, and now, the first woman and first woman of color to become Vice President of the United States.

Her election was celebrated as a significant milestone for the United States and a symbol of progress towards greater inclusivity and diversity in American politics. By breaking these barriers, Harris inspires future generations and opens up new possibilities for women and people of color.
