📧 “Pitch: VP Harris on military civil rights” to Sullivan
Hey Robert, I wanted to gauge your interest in a story I am developing that piggy backs on my last article. Its scope might exceed a Short Take, but I wanted to get your feedback before I started shopping this around to others because I had such a good experience with you. Here's the nut graph;
In 2013, while Kamala Harris was serving as its Attorney General, the state of California passed Assembly Bill 556, adding “military and veteran status” to the jurisdiction of our nation’s largest Civil Rights Department. As late as this summer, the agency she oversaw has yet to implement or enforce military civil rights. This mirrors several federal agencies that either exclude service members and veterans or refuse to meet their statutory obligations. With a military family supporting her candidacy, will a President Harris make sure military families are no longer deprived of the rights their sacrifices secure?
