Kicking off, @KamalaHarris talks about the Democratic victories @Culinary226 has helped Nevada achieve. “You did that,” she says about @GovSisolak, the first Democratic governor in the state in two decades.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak Harris is now going through a list of things on the ballot this election: economic justice, health care justice. "Justice is on the ballot when there is a criminal living in the White House," she says.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak The @Culinary226 crowd applauds as @KamalaHarris says that they need someone as the Democratic nominee "who is on that stage and has the ability to go to toe to toe with Donald Trump, and you're looking at her."
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak .@KamalaHarris uses the first question — "what can you say about being tough and fighting for our issues" — to lay into Trump.

"Don’t be confused when this small man ... walks around trying to wave what he thinks is his power when in fact he has done nothing for working people."
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak The next question for @KamalaHarris comes from a Palace Station worker, about whether she thinks Station Casinos deserves a tax break.

Harris says, "I've called Fertitta. I've weighed in on that ... The Fertittas, they are paying less taxes I bet than you are paying."
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak Also before answering the question, @KamalaHarris asked the worker to describe his day working at Palace Station.

"Every day I’m going to work at Station Casinos, I’m worried about my job," he says.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak The next question is about when will Congress repeal the Cadillac tax that was a part of the Affordable Care Act.

"The White House is on the table we got to take back the White House which I fully intend to do and we got to take back the Senate," Harris says.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak .@KamalaHarris tells @Culinary226 members that she had them in mind when she crafted her Medicare-for-all policy, which retains a role for private insurers.

"The health coverage and the insurance you have negotiated and bargained to get, I will not take that away," she says.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak .@KamalaHarris also took what she said at an AFSCME forum in August — that she would consult labor in making her decision about a labor secretary — one step further tonight.

She has now committed to appointing a labor secretary that comes from labor.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak On immigration, @KamalaHarris talks about her plan not only to bring DACA back through executive action, but extend the program to the family members of DACA recipients too.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak Harris, talking about the 2020 Census, says that Trump is trying to make people afraid.

"If we’re not counted, when they start drawing the lines for voting, we’ll be invisible… Do not let them make us feel invisible. Do not let them make us fear," she says.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak The last question for @KamalaHarris is on what she will do to tackle the prescription drug industry. She says nothing has been done "because the people in Washington, D.C. don't have any —"

"Say it," the crowd shouts.

"Cojones," she says, to wild applause.
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak In closing, @KamalaHarris says that there are some people who say, "I don't know if America is ready for a woman, of color —"

"Yes we are," a few shout.

"— with an immigrant background—"

"— yes we are —"

"— to be president of the United States."
@KamalaHarris @Culinary226 @GovSisolak I asked Clark County Commissioner @tsegerblom, who has endorsed @BernieSanders, why he's here.

He says he has "mixed emotions."

"Always the Culinary," he says.
