Insurgent Candidate Kerri Harris Has a New Job: Lobbyist for the Working Poor
“Working Hero Action is an organization that advocates for ending poverty, mainly through state-level campaigns to expand the EITC and by helping low-income people claim their benefits. During the 2018 election, the organization’s founder, Joe Sanberg — a wealthy investor and co-founder of Aspiration.com, a financial company that helps direct users toward socially conscious banking and spending — created a PAC to support progressive candidates, one of whom was Harris. ‘Kerri speaks with passion and heart that she also marries with an intellectual mastery of the policy issues,’ Sanberg said. ‘So to have her as our national advocacy director for the culture change we want to create, and ultimately the agenda to end poverty, is a natural fit.’”
