Issues
In a biography submitted to Ballotpedia, Harris described his political philosophy:
Citizenry (sic) is not something bestowed upon at a certain age but come at first breath. In today's world the climate is to someway mark you before this age arrives at 18. Low level education discrimination dividing by race and ethic back grounds, crime drugs or War/military. All this is upon you before you turn 18. By the time you do go vote you can no long protect yourself (sic). A citizenry is not naturally in a single party. But an overall system. I allow you to eat hog nuts if you want. A fairness system. Not rigged like a Stinging switch. I believe in you and want that belief in you.[3]
He further notes "We have just one small chance to make it to the promised world. One with out Pain crime Insanity or and need of War. Where the depth of one reach or scope of her vision of is focused and intensified in a Moving forward world."[3]
