Vice President Kamala Harris has returned to the Bay Area.
Harris arrived at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Wednesday as she was greeted by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf.
Harris said she was happy to be back home.
“It’s good to be home. It’s good to see you,” Harris said.
Harris talked with Breed and Schaaf at the bottom of the steps, lasting several minutes.
“It was about the things that are important to San Francisco. Just catching her up on the happenings here and asking her for her help,” Breed said.
“Elections matter more than ever, and we talked about how we all have work to do on these midterms,” Schaaf said.
On Thursday, Harris will be helping raise money for her party as the midterm election draws near. Harris will attend two political engagements in San Francisco and Los Gatos.
