Kamala Harris was an integral part of the Biden administration that accomplished great things for working class people. And during her campaign, Harris articulated numerous policies that would directly benefit working class people, including:
childcare tax credits, earned income credits for the working poor, lower prescription drug prices, protecting affordable healthcare, increasing the minimum wage, protecting unions and workers’ rights, providing for in-home care for elderly and homebound, subsidizing first-time home-buyers, building affordable housing, student loan forgiveness, prosecuting price gouging, and a middle-class tax cut.
Long before her campaign for president, Harris has been dedicated to helping working people. Below are some details:
As Vice President, she served as the Chair of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment. In doing so, she helped advance dozens of policies to make it easier for workers to organize, raise wages, and strengthen workers’ bargaining power.
In her role as the president of the US Senate, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, designed to create green manufacturing jobs and lower prescription drug costs. She cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the American Rescue Plan to save pensions and to dig the economy out of the recession she and Biden inherited.
In 2023, Harris cancelled an appearance at an event to avoid crossing a picket line, and changed her hotel reservations for another event to avoid crossing a picket line.
Before serving as Vice President, Harris served as California Senator. She was a champion for workers and unions. For instance, she was a lead original co-sponsor of both the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act.
As Senator, Harris was lead sponsor of legislation to strengthen Occupational Safety and Health Act protections against heat stress on the job. She was also the lead sponsor of legislation to establish a Domestic Worker Bill of Rights to provide domestic workers with basic protections and rights on the job, as well as legislation to strengthen whistleblower protections on the job.
Harris also served previously as Attorney General for the state of California and was a champion for workers there. She established a landmark cooperative task force with the U.S. Department of Labor to increase investigations of and enforcement against wage theft.
As California's Attorney General, Harris secured hundreds of millions of dollars for the state’s teacher and public employee pension funds, making them whole after big banks misrepresented the value of their investments.
As AG, Harris secured $18 billion for California homeowners from banks that abused homeowners during the foreclosure crisis.
As AG, Harris won $230 million from pharmaceutical companies who were misleading patients.
