*In a recent letter to the editor, shared by the LA Times, San Diego resident Laura Norris expressed a sentiment shared by many Californians who admire Vice President Kamala Harris‘ leadership and tenacity.
Norris articulated her desire for Harris to consider a gubernatorial run in California, emphasizing the need for strong and experienced leadership in the state.
Harris has long been a prominent figure in California politics, serving as both Attorney General and U.S. Senator before her current role as Vice President. Her extensive experience working on issues affecting the state and nation makes her a formidable candidate for any position. While many were disappointed by her lost bid for the presidency, there remains a significant cohort of supporters who still believe in her potential to lead at the state level.
Norris also highlighted an interesting angle in her letter—the idea that Harris’s candidacy could provoke the ire of President-elect Trump. The relationship between Harris and Trump has been marked by sharp exchanges, particularly during the presidential debates, and a Harris governorship may serve to further entwine national politics with California’s progressive agenda.
Harris’s familiarity with Trump’s tactics and policies could enable her to effectively navigate the political landscape, addressing the needs of her constituents while holding the federal government accountable.
Furthermore, Harris’s return to California leadership could invigorate the Democratic base, rallying voters around a candidate who embodies resilience and determination. In a time of heightened political polarization, having a leader who is both experienced and grounded in local issues can bridge divides and focus on the common challenges facing Californians, including climate change, housing affordability, and economic recovery.
Laura Norris’s letter speaks to more than just a wish for Harris’s political future; it represents a desire for strong leadership in California, particularly in a time when the state and nation face considerable obstacles.
By suggesting a run for governor, Norris encapsulates a growing belief among Californians that Harris could be the catalyst for positive change at home, leveraging her experience and capabilities to uplift the Golden State.
While we may never know if Vice President Harris will heed this call from constituents like Laura, the discourse surrounding her potential candidacy is a testament to the collective hopes of those who believe in her vision and leadership. As California continues to navigate its challenges, the conversation around Harris’s future remains a crucial part of the political landscape—one that could ultimately shape the state’s trajectory in years to come.
Here is Laura Norris’ letter to the editor as written by her to the LA Times:
To the editor: Like one of your letter writers, I also sent an email to Vice President Kamala Harris that she will probably not read, because I am a nobody.
I suggested she run for governor of California. We need someone with her strength and experience, and it would really irritate President-elect Trump, which I think can be a good thing. She’s had experience dealing with him, and she’s had experience working in many capacities for the great state of California.
I am extremely sorry she lost the presidency, but we want her as governor.
Laura Norris, San Diego
