“My mother always taught me, ‘You may be the first to do many things, never be the last.’ I’ve always carried that with me. It’s an honor to be on the Democratic presidential ticket as the first Black woman and first Indian American woman. One of my proudest ‘firsts’ was when I became the attorney general of California, the first Black woman to become attorney general in the state. But I didn’t set out to be the ‘first.’ When I decided to pursue a career in public service, it was—and still is—about making people’s lives better. I’ve always asked myself how I could help better our communities and keep our children safe. My only client has always been the People. I will never forget stepping into the courtroom and saying, ‘Kamala Harris, for the People.’ Those three words, ‘for the People,’ guide me through my life.”
