A lot has changed in Berkeley since the Democratic presidential nominee was a little girl, but progressive politics remain central to the city's DNA and growing up there.
Wearing a T-shirt that reads 'First but not the last' — a phrase Kamala Harris has used to describe herself as the country's first female vice president — a 9-year-old named Violet stood outside her elementary school, one the Democratic nominee once attended, and worried about the future if former President Trump is elected next month. 'It's scary how abortion could not be a thing anymore,' said Violet, who won't be eligible to vote for nearly a decade.
Peskin reconnected with Harris in August when she stopped at a swanky fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. He caught her eye and she waved him over, he said. Secret Service agents made a path, and they exchanged a hug. 'I thought to myself, 'How cool is this?'' he said. 'My kindergarten pal.' State Sen. Nancy Skinner was another politician molded by the passionate city.
