Her mother is an Indian American doctor, and her father is an Afro-Jamacain American professor of economics. She’s lived in the East Coast, Chicago, California.
She’s progressive. She plays by the rules but she’s progressive.

‘Conviction rate aside, only 45 people were sentenced to state prison for marijuana convictions during Harris’ seven years in office, compared with 135 people during Hallinan’s eight years, according to data from the state corrections department. That only includes individuals whose most serious conviction was for marijuana.’
