Kamala Harris dissolving PACs, giving money to charity
WASHINGTON — Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is dissolving her political fundraising committees as she prepares for her inauguration with President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 20, and will give the leftover money to California charities.
The dollar totals left in the accounts are far less than the tens of millions Harris raised as a candidate, most of which was spent on her unsuccessful run for president. But her decision to close the accounts, shared exclusively with The Chronicle, also leaves Harris with no active fundraising PACs of her own — a signal to those who question whether her focus will be on a 2024 presidential campaign of her own rather than a Biden re-election.
Harris will donate the roughly $60,000 left in the accounts of her Senate campaign committee and a separate political action committee to three charities. She intends to close her presidential campaign committee as well, but cannot do so until a complaint filed against it with the Federal Election Commission is resolved.
The California Democrat is distributing $20,000 to each of the three charities she selected, according to her transition staff. She picked organizations that have been especially valuable amid the pandemic, her staff said.
