Kamala Harris - For California Attorney General 2010

United States Senator Dianne Feinstein Endorses Kamala Harris as California’s Next Attorney General

(SAN FRANCISCO) – Today California’s Senior Senator Dianne Feinstein announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris as California’s next Attorney General.

“Over the past seven years as San Francisco’s District Attorney, Kamala Harris has demonstrated a proven track record of innovation and change,” said Senator Feinstein. “Kamala has increased conviction rates, created San Francisco’s first ever Environmental Justice Unit and Child Assault Unit, and launched an early intervention program that has been used as a national model. Kamala will bring her innovative approach to the California Attorney General’s Office and she is my choice for California’s top cop.”

“I am deeply honored by Senator Dianne Feinstein’s endorsement of my candidacy for Attorney General,” said District Attorney Harris.  “Senator Feinstein is a hometown hero and has the resounding respect of California law enforcement. As the first woman from California to serve in the United States Senate, her endorsement of my candidacy to become California’s first female Attorney General makes me especially proud.  As Attorney General, I look forward to building upon her pioneering work of reducing gun violence in our communities and protecting California’s environment.”

Senator Feinstein endorsed Kamala Harris in both of her races to serve as San Francisco District Attorney and officiated DA Harris’ swearing in ceremony upon her re-election in 2007.

Senator Feinstein joins a growing number of California leaders to endorse Kamala Harris, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Kamala Harris has also received the endorsement of every newspaper that has endorsed to date in the Attorney General’s race:  the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Sacramento Bee and Modesto Bee, San Francisco Bay Guardian, the Bay Area Reporter, and the Los Angeles Metropolitan News.
