Kamala/politics pt2

This is pt2!!!! I suggest you check out the first part if you haven't already. Now, this blog is going to be about Kamala's biography. Honestly, I might even make another one about Elon Musk as a bonus part, because he wasn't really a part of the elction, but he is also very important. HERE YALL GO

Kamala Harris (full name Kamala Devi Harris) is 60 year old, born on October 20th 1964, Oakland, California United States. She is team Democrat.

Kamala's schools: UC Law San Francisco, Westmount High School, Howard University.

Kamala Harris attended Vanier College in Montreal in 1981-1982, she then attended Howard University, a historical black university in Washington D.C. At Howard, she became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, one of the "Divine Nine" historically black sororities. She graduated in 1986 with a degree in political science and economics. Harris then attended the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, where she served as president of its chapter of the Black Law Student Association.

In 1990, Harris was hired as a deputy distric attorney in Alameda County, California where she was described as "an able prosecutor on the way up". In 1994, Speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown, who was then dating Harris, appointed her to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later to the California Medical Assistence Commission. In February 1998, San Francisco district attorney Terence Hallinan recruited Harris as an assistant distric attorney. There, she became the chief of the Career Criminal Division, supervising fiveother attorneys, where she prosecuted homicide, burglary, robbery, and sexual assault cases -  particularly three-strikes cases. In August 2000, Harris took a job at San Francisco City Hall, working for city attorney Louise Renne. Harris ran the Family and Children's Services Division, representing child abuse and neglect cases. Renne endorsed Harris during her D.A campaign.

In 2002, Harris ran for district attorney of San Francisco, running a "forceful" campaign and differentiating herself from Haiillinan by attacking his performance. Harris won the election with 56% of the vote, becoming first person of color elected district attorney of San Francisco. She ran unopposed for a second term in 2007 and got re-elected. Within the first six months of taking office, Harris cleared 27 of 74 backlogged homicide cases. She also pushed for higher bail for criminal defendants involved in gun-related crimes, arguing that historically low bail encouraged outsiders to commit crimes in San Francisco.

In 2006, as part of an initiative to reduce the city's homicide rate, Harris led a citywide effort to combat truancy for at-risk elementary school youth in San Francisco, In 2008, declaring chronic truancy a matter of public safety and pointing out that the majority of prison inmates and homicide victims are dropouts or habitual truants, she issued citations against six parents whose children missed at least 50 days of school. Harris's office ultimately prosecuted seven parents in three years, with none jailed. By April 2009, 1,330 elementary school students were habitual or chronic tuants, down 23% from 1,730 in 2008, and from 2,517 in 2007 and 2,856 in 2006.

Harros was elected attorney general of California in 2010, becoming the first woman, African American, and South Asian American to hold the office in the state's history. She took office on January 3, 2011, and was reelected in 2014. She served until resigning January 3, 2017, to take her seat in the United States Senate.

In 2010, Harris announced her candidacy for attorney general and was endorsed by prominent California Democrats, including U.S senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and House speaker Nancy Pelosi. She won the Democratic primary and narrowly defeated Republican nominee Steve Cooley in the general election.

Family life:

Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biologist who arrived in the United States from India in 1958 to enroll in graduate school in endocrinology at the university of California, Berkeley. A research career of over 40 years followed, during which her work on the progesterone receptor gene led to advances in breast cancer research. Kamala's father, Donald J. Harris is an Afro-Jamaican who immigrated to the United states in 1961 and also enrolled in UC Berkley, specializing in dvelopment economics. The first black scholar to be granted tenure at Stanford University's economics department, he has emeritus status there. Kamala's parents met in 1962 and married 1963

I mean, might be just my opinion, but who's better to control the immigrant situation? A racist fella or a woman who comes from an immigrant family?

So, in pt1 I didn't really tell you guys about Trump's parents. For some reason, it was definately not easy to find.

Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, born in New York, was a successful real estate developer in New York City. For some reason, some websites say he was born in Germany, some - in New York. There's much much more info about Fred as a German, so let's say he is. Trump's father the German-born Frederick Trump, amassed considerable wealth during the Klondike Gold Rush by running a restaurant and brothel for miners. Mary Anne Trump was a Scottish-American socialite and philanthropist. 

If you know anything more, or mayBe i have missed something, please tell me in the comments. The next part will be about the election. I thought that it is best for everyone to know their biography first, before breaking down the election. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF GRAMMAR AND SPELLING MISTAKES. IGNORE EM

The different between Kamala's and Trump's biography is astonishing! Trump's history being riddled with the assortment of crimes he committed over the decades and disgusting comments he made about his own daughter and children. And then in this part is Kamala Harris being a active part in lowering the crime rate and representing low income neighborhoods in court. This segment really just shows how terrible and disapointing president Trump is.
