Former Vice President Kamala Harris has signed with CAA for representation in all areas, with a focus on speaking engagements and publishing. CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout decades-long career in public service.
This marks a return to the agency for Harris, which previously represented the then-U.S. Senator prior to her being sworn in as the 49th Vice President of the United States — the first woman, the first Black American and the first South Asian American to be elected to the position. She made history again as the first Black woman and first South Asian woman nominated for president by a major political party.
Harris will soon be honored with the Chairman’s Award at the NAACP Image Awards. The award celebrates individuals who “excel in public service and leverage their unique platforms to ignite and drive meaningful change.” She will accept the prestigious honor, in her first TV appearance since leaving office, during the 56th Image Awards ceremony on Feb. 22, airing live from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on BET and CBS.
Harris’ CAA signing comes just two weeks after former President Joe Biden also signed with the agency, which previously represented him from 2017 to 2020.
While a CAA client from 2017 to 2020, President Biden published his #1 New York Times bestselling memoir, “Promise Me, Dad,” launched the 42-date “American Promise” tour, which sold more than 85,000 tickets nationwide, and headlined numerous speaking engagements.
Breaker Media was first to report the news of Harris’ signing.
