Washington State Black Legislators Endorse Kamala Harris for President

Members of the Washington State Legislative Black Caucus (LBC) are proud to announce their enthusiastic endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. As a group of dedicated public servants committed to advancing justice, equality, and opportunity for all, we believe Vice President Harris embodies the leadership, vision, and determination needed to lead our nation into a brighter, more inclusive future.

"Kamala Harris has consistently demonstrated her commitment to justice and equity throughout her career," said Interim Chair of the Washington State Legislative Black Caucus Rep. Kristine Reeves. "From her groundbreaking work as attorney general of California to her transformative efforts as vice president, Kamala Harris has proven she is a champion for the people. Her dedication to criminal justice reform, economic empowerment, healthcare access and civil rights aligns with the values and priorities of our caucus and the constituents we serve."

 Vice President Harris's history-making candidacy as the first woman of Jamaican and South Asian descent to serve as vice president has already inspired millions across the country, particularly young Black girls who see themselves reflected in her achievements. Her policy initiatives, such as advocating for comprehensive police reform, addressing racial disparities in healthcare, and promoting economic opportunities for marginalized communities, resonate deeply with the mission of the Washington State Legislative Black Caucus.

"Kamala Harris understands the unique challenges Black communities face and has a proven track record of fighting for solutions that address systemic inequalities," said Sen. T’wina Nobles. "Her leadership is not just symbolic; it is substantive. She has the experience, the resilience and the vision to bring about meaningful change."

During the Biden-Harris presidential campaign, Harris laid out a comprehensive agenda focused on rebuilding the economy to work for everyone, advancing social justice, combating climate change and ensuring every American has access to affordable healthcare. Her commitment to these issues, experience, and tenacity makes her the ideal candidate to lead our nation forward.

"As Black legislators, we are acutely aware of the need for leadership that acknowledges our struggles and actively works to overcome them," added Rep. Brandy Donaghy. "Kamala Harris has shown time and again that she is that leader. We proudly stand with her and support her candidacy for president ."

As members of the Washington State Legislative Black Caucus, we urge all citizens to support Kamala Harris for president. Together, we can build a more just, equitable and prosperous future for all Americans.
