Kamala Harris releases 15 years of tax returns [View all]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-releases-15-years-of-tax-returns/ar-BBVUG5w?ocid=st

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris released 15 years of tax returns on Sunday, offering a glimpse into how the California public servant ascended the financial ranks to become a multimillionaire.

The documents span the entirety of Harris' career in elected office, from her $142,000 salary as San Francisco district attorney in 2004 to her current post as U.S. senator.

Harris and her husband, Los Angeles-based attorney Douglas Emhoff, jointly reported more than $2 million in income last year, for which they paid nearly $700,000 in taxes.

The tax returns, released before the April 15 tax deadline, mark the most sweeping look yet at a presidential contender's personal finances, edging out Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand, who each have released more than a decade's worth of tax documents.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
