    The political earthquake that has made Kamala Harris the Democratic Party’s nominee for president is a San Francisco story that began more than 60 years ago.

    The cast of characters includes a chain-smoking, hard-drinking and profane political mastermind; a Polish Jewish activist who fled the Nazis and later became a member of Congress;
    a Black lawyer and civil rights activist from rural Texas; and the scion (Nancy Pelosi) of a powerful political family who moved to San Francisco when she got married and
    made it to Congress in substantial part due to a deathbed endorsement from the refugee-turned-congresswoman.

    Kamala Harris, right, SF’s new district attorney, with her mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan, holding a copy of the Bill of Rights, takes the oath of office from California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald M. George during inauguration ceremonies on Jan. 8, 2004, in San Francisco.


    Former House Speaker Tip O’Neill’s statement that “all politics is local” is quoted too frequently, and is less true than in the past. B
    ut it turns out that in San Francisco, once in a while, all local politics are national.
