One Mormon Lawyer's Case for Kamala Harris

Written by Clayton Thompson, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a supporter of the MeidasTouch Network

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a lawyer. I believe in God and believe the Book of Mormon is true, so I’m honored to be known as a “Mormon” to those I’ve interacted with for the past 30 plus years in New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois. Here is one Mormon lawyer’s case for Kamala Harris.

I believe we have an obligation — as citizens and members of the Church— to defend the United States Constitution and to elect honest and wise leaders. “When the wicked rule, the people mourn.” See D&C 98:8–10, 101 7–80. I believe God commands us to love our neighbors, care for the poor, and not to lie, commit adultery, or steal. The Book of Mormon teaches us that “all are alike to God,” “black and white, bond and free, male and female…”

Vice President Kamala Harris is a good person who respects the Constitution. Donald Trump is a bad person who does not; he is weak, selfish, and, if given power, dangerous.

Kamala Harris

Vice President Harris has demonstrated courage and a commitment to the rule of law. She spent most of her career in law enforcement, beginning as an assistant district attorney in Alameda County, California. These early years were spent as a “courtroom prosecutor.” This means Harris stood up for victims of violence against criminals in open court. She put on and cross-examined witnesses, she argued to judges, and she persuaded juries to hold these violent offenders accountable. The reason Harris owns a gun is probably because sending dangerous people to prison put her at risk of retribution.
