Senator Kamala Harris impressed by dedication of San Diego submariners

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) — US Senator Kamala Harris came to San Diego Friday for a course in ‘Submarines 101.’

The democratic Senator received a top to bottom tour of the USS Scranton, a 361-foot long Los Angeles class submarine.

And why is the Senator so interested in our subs? She serves on two committees on national security the Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Harris came away very impressed with the professionalism of the submariners. ‘These folks never complain,’ she remarked.

To say that Harris is a rising star in the Democratic Party is an understatement.

Her name has been mentioned as a candidate for the presidency in 2020, something she says she has not ruled out.
