Sharifah Hardie, a candidate for California Governor in 2026, has expressed strong concerns regarding Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. As the 2024 Presidential election nears, Hardie urges the Black community to evaluate political leaders’ actions over emotional connections.
Hardie emphasizes the need to scrutinize the track records of elected officials, particularly Kamala Harris. “We must look beyond race and symbolism,” Hardie asserts. She argues that it is vital to assess what leaders have actually done for the Black community. According to Hardie, Kamala Harris’s affinity for hip-hop does not guarantee alignment with the community’s best interests. She points out that Black people continue to suffer from policies implemented during Harris’s tenure as a prosecutor.
Kamala Harris Former Prosecutor and Attorney General
As a former prosecutor, Kamala Harris has faced criticism for policies that negatively impacted Black individuals. Hardie stresses that while representation matters, actions hold greater weight. She criticizes the Democratic Party, including figures like former President Barack Obama, for prioritizing issues like LGBTQ+ rights over crucial concerns in the Black community, such as reparations.
Hardie also voices her disapproval of the Biden Administration’s immigration policies. She believes these policies have placed unnecessary strain on American resources, potentially disadvantaging the Black community. “While we are told to wait for reparations and other support, resources are being allocated elsewhere,” Hardie states.
The recent killing of Sonya Massey, a Black woman, by a police officer highlights the urgent need for law enforcement reform and accountability. Hardie is committed to addressing these systemic issues as part of her campaign for California Governor.
The economic challenges facing the nation require immediate and decisive action. They require a President who has the interest of the Black community at heart. The opportunity to make a difference is here, but it won’t last forever. The time to act is now—unite, support, and make a difference.
