A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AS SHE CONTINUES ON HER NOTEWORTHY 
BOOK TOUR AND TO WELCOME HER ARRIVAL TO THE PALMETTO STATE.

Whereas, former Vice 
President Kamala Harris is scheduled to appear in South Carolina on April 16, 
2026, at the Township Auditorium in Columbia for a night of surprising and 
revealing insights inspired by her #1 New York Times bestselling book, 107 
DAYS; and

Whereas, she will 
discuss how to find hope and resilience in the face of adversity. During this 
special event, she will share her powerful and timely message about what it 
will take to move forward, especially for those feeling disheartened and 
disconnected from the current political process; and

Whereas, former Vice 
President Harris will talk about her life story, her historic presidential 
campaign, the experiences that have shaped her personal philosophies, and her 
path to finding purpose; and

Whereas, starting with 
her defeat of an incumbent to become the district attorney in San Francisco, 
the first Black person to do so in the state of California, she shattered 
barriers in order to represent and defend her fellow Americans. She later 
became the first Black and first woman of South Asian descent to serve as 
senator from California in the United State Congress; and

Whereas, with her 
election as vice president of the United States, Harris became the 
highest-ranking woman ever in public service in this country, followed by being 
the first graduate of a historically black college or university to receive a 
major presidential nomination; and

Whereas, throughout her 
many years of public service, former Vice President Harris has always emphasized 
that her public service is "for the people," meaning all of the people; 
and

Whereas, Harris is 
credited with significant accomplishments and policy initiatives including 
introducing the Maternal CARE Act and the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, 
which would direct multi-agency efforts to improve maternal health, 
particularly among minorities, veterans, and vulnerable populations. 
Additionally, she oversaw the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence 
Prevention, heralded as the most impactful gun violence prevention measure in 
almost three decades. Harris also made noteworthy contributions to critical 
issues such as immigration, voting rights, and abortion; and

Whereas, Harris also 
represented the United States on the foreign stage during her service as vice 
president, including meeting with more than one hundred fifty world leaders to 
strengthen global alliances; and

Whereas, with nuance, 
candor, and a unique perspective, former Vice 
President Harris plans to lead a compelling conversation about how we 
collectively should chart a blueprint that sets an alternative vision for the 
country. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and honor former Vice President Kamala Harris as 
she continues on her noteworthy book tour and welcome her arrival to the 
Palmetto State.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to former Vice President Kamala 
Harris.
