Pat is the only true progressive running and not taking corporate donations.Pat firmly believes the first order of business is to get corporate money out of politics. He supports overturning Citizens United and will fight to ensure that our elections and politicians can no longer be bought by PAC’s or big lobbying groups like the NRA, Big Pharma or Big Oil.His vision for America includes passing legislation that will provide Medicare for All, tuition-free college, real immigration reform, criminal justice reform and a transition to a green economy run on 100% renewables.He believes in addressing California’s most pressing issues through building more affordable housing to address homelessness, providing student debt relief, improving public education, upgrading our crumbling infrastructure with increased public works spending, implementing paid parental leave for all working men and women, and supporting common-sense gun safety legislation.CP: With less than two weeks to the June 5th primary, and roughly 47% of the vote still undecided, U. S. Senate candidate Pat Harris, one of the only true progressives in this race was an early challenger to Dianne Feinstein and one of three on the ballot at the California Democratic Convention who contributed to denying her the party’s endorsement.Pat has been getting wide support and recognition as a leading candidate not accepting corporate donations and for his recent Progressive American’s Together Voter’s Guide, which he introduced at the 2nd Anniversary of Bernie’s Diner May 19 with actress/activist Frances Fisher. One of the commercials is a version of a video that has been going viral, targeting his competitors Kevin de Leon and Dianne Feinstein for taking corporate donations and listing their corporate contributors, which can be viewed on vimeo.To access the Progressive American’s Together Voter’s Guide and for further information go to patharrisforsenate.com.
