Harris has a complicated record related to her time as a prosecutor and her stance on various issues related to criminal justice. She must clarify her position and commit to addressing the criminal justice system. Harris has said some positive things that reflect a more progressive outlook, however, she's hardly a stalwart on the issue. Hopefully, amid her current momentum, she will moderate her “"tough- on- crime”" main message to appeal to a wider swath of her party and the country.
