Statement by California Labor Federation Executive Secretary-Treasurer Art Pulaski on Kamala Harris’ Election to the U.S. Senate

“The California labor movement is thrilled with the election of Kamala Harris as our next U.S. Senator. As Attorney General, Harris tackled some of the most pressing issues California faces including going after the big banks in the wake of the housing crisis, protecting workers from rampant wage theft and criminal justice reform. Working people are fortunate to have her continue to champion our values at a national level, and we’re confident she’s going to be a tremendous Senator who will fight for us each and every day in the U.S. Capitol.”
