Where Kamala Harris Stands on 11 Important Issues
 
Joe Biden officially announced that Kamala Harris will be his running mate in the 2020 presidential election. Harris will become the first Black woman to be on a presidential ticket for a major party in the United States, and if Biden wins in November, Harris will become the first Black woman to be vice president.

While the two are now forming a historic partnership, just months ago Harris was Biden's rival. She also ran for president in the 2020 election, dropping out of the race in December 2019, though her career as an attorney general and senator made her an obvious choice for Biden's shortlist.

Harris, 55, was born in Oakland, to immigrant parents; her mother is originally from India, while her father is from Jamaica. After she graduated law school, Harris was a deputy district attorney before serving as the District Attorney of the City and County of San Francisco.

She then became the first Black person and the first woman to become California's Attorney General, a position she held until 2016, when she ran to represent California in the U.S. Senate. She's California's first Black senator and the country's first South Asian-American senator.

Here, ELLE.com breaks down where Harris stands on 11 issues, from healthcare to the COVID-19 pandemic.
