Tonight Presidential Candidate @KamalaHarris will keynote a @CaliforniaLabor Federation dinner in Sacramento, following a private dinner with high profile Dem donors @FOX40

From a source: Kamala Harris is currently in Sacramento, meeting with members of the Ca Latino Legislative Caucus. She’ll be heading over to a private fund-raising event before eventually keynoting the California Labor Federation dinner @FOX40

Roughly between 600-700 people expected for the @CaliforniaLabor Federation dinner tonight to hear @KamalaHarris speak. Lobby areas outside the banquet hall already filling up @FOX40

"It's moments like these where you have candidates speaking directly to working people that we really value." -Steve Smith w/ @CaliforniaLabor Federation ahead of @KamalaHarris keynote speech to union members in Sacramento @FOX40

Although Ca Labor Federation invited #KamalaHarris to speak tonight, this is far from an endorsement. They tell me AFL-CIO on the national level will ultimately make an endorsement, much further down the Primary road. @FOX40

Absolutely packed house for #KamalaHarris at CA Labor Federation dinner tonight @FOX40

Kamala is in the building...getting ready to take the stage at the California Labor Federation dinner in Sacramento @FOX40

Senator @KamalaHarris coming in to Maya’s “Ghetto Superstar”, continuing her streak of best intro music among all 2020 presidential candidates so far #Primary2020

“I do believe this is an inflection moment in the history of our country...requiring us each to look in a mirror and ask a question, who are we?” @KamalaHarris -on why she’s running for President @FOX40

“This is a moment in time when we must restore equal opportunity for all Americans to reach success and well-being.” -@KamalaHarris @FOX40

Kamala talks about her mother...saying she was the kind of woman who, if you had a problem, would ask, “So what are you going to do about it?” ...she continued, “So I’m running for President of the United States.” @FOX40

“America’s economy is not working for working people.” Senator Harris continues to focus heavily on challenges of working families at @CaliforniaLabor Federation dinner @FOX40

Kamala talks about her tax proposal plan, $6,000 tax credit for middle-income families, 500 a month. @FOX40

#KamalaHarris now talking about her plan to close the teacher pay gap- $13,500 a year. Same plan that caught national headlines when she rolled it out-says it’ll be laid for by repealing Trump tax bill on day one of her presidency-standing ovation after that line @FOX40

Kamala Harris focusing in on the importance of unions in building the middle class- another major applause line @FOX40
