On Principles & Values:
If we're not running, we're not defending democracy
It leaves ordinary people such as Harris -- a 70-year-old mother of four and grandmother of seven, to carry the torch for Democrats. "We cannot have a democracy without fielding candidates. If we are not fielding candidates, then we are not defending
democracy." she said. "I may get chewed up and spit out, but when it's done, I will be the same person I am today. I may fall flat on my face, but that's still progress."
