She made the promise as she narrated the story of her “neighbor, Mrs. Shelton” whom she “used to call second mother”.
Harris said, “growing up, our mother worked long hours, so my sister Maya and I would stay with our neighbor, Mrs. Shelton. She helped my mother take care of us.”
The US Presidential Election 2024 will see Harris lock horns with Donald Trump, Presidential candidate of the Republican Party, for the Office of the US President, come Tuesday 5 November, 2024.
According to Harris: “Growing up, our mother worked long hours, so my sister Maya and I would stay with our neighbor, Mrs. Shelton. She helped my mother take care of us, and we used to call her our second mother.
Mrs. Shelton was a small business owner. Since I was a child, I have known that small business owners hold the community together. They hire locally, mentor, and are civic leaders.
Americans do not lack ambition, aspiration, dreams, or the preparedness to do hard work. However, not everyone has the resources to turn their dreams into reality.
“That is why part of my economic plan will give a $50,000 tax deduction to help entrepreneurs and innovators start and grow their start-ups and small businesses.”
