WILL DO IN UPCOMING YEARS TO
SERVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF
VOTERS AREN’T REALLY AWARE OF
JUST HOW BIG THE JOB OF CONSUMER
ADVOCATE AND PROTECTOR IS FOR
STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL, IF THEY
TAKE THAT JOB SERIOUSLY.
TELL US WHAT YOU SAW IN KAMALA
HARRIS’ WORK IN THAT OFFICE, AS
THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
THE BIGGEST STATE THAT SHE WILL
BRING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT
CAN BENEFIT CONSUMERS IN WAYS
THAT THEY MIGHT NOT ANTICIPATE?
>> ATTORNEYS GENERAL HAVE
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT ROLES,
PARTICULARLY IN A LARGE STATE
LIKE CALIFORNIA.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS VERY
BROAD JURISDICTION.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS I OBSERVED,
JUST AS A CITIZEN OF CALIFORNIA
DURING THIS TIME, WAS THE DEGREE
TO WHICH KAMALA WAS GRAPPLING
WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES THAT OUR
STATE WAS FACING.
WITH REGARD TO CONSUMER
PROTECTION AND MORTGAGE
SETTLEMENT, THE FRAUD, THE SCAMS
AND FORECLOSURES HURTING
CALIFORNIA, SHE SHOWED
INCREDIBLE COURAGE IN STANDING
UP, NOT ONLY TO THE BIG BANKS,
BUT BEING WILLING TO PUSH HER
FELLOW ATTORNEY GENERALS TO GET
A BETTER DEAL FOR FAMILIES FROM
THE BIG BANKS.
AND SHE IMPORTANTLY UNDERSTOOD
THAT JUSTICE ISN’T ABOUT WHAT
YOU ANNOUNCE IN A PRESS
CONFERENCE.
IT’S ABOUT THE REAL CHANGE THAT
YOU DELIVER IN PEOPLE’S LIVES.
AND THAT WAS THE WORK THAT I’M
HONORED SHE TASKED ME TO HELP
