Advisory: Vice President Kamala Harris to Travel to Detroit, MI

May 02, 2024

On Monday, May 6, Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Detroit, MI for the second stop on her nationwide Economic Opportunity Tour. This will be her second visit to the state this year and her fifth since being sworn in.

Vice President Harris kicked off her Economic Opportunity Tour on Monday with a moderated conversation in Atlanta, GA. During each stop of the multi-state tour, the Vice President will highlight how the Biden-Harris Administration has built economic opportunity, supported communities, and delivered historic investments for the American people. This includes making unprecedented investments in small businesses and achieving the fastest creation of Black-owned small businesses in more than 30 years, creating a record number of jobs, increasing access to capital for underserved communities, investing in infrastructure, erasing medical debt, forgiving more student loan debt than any administration in history and boosting investments in education, making housing more affordable, lowering child care costs, and increasing the wealth of American families. She is being joined on the tour by Administration officials, members of Congress, and local leaders.

Vice President Harris visited Grand Rapids in February to hold a roundtable conversation as part of her nationwide Fight for Reproductive Freedoms tour. Last year, she traveled to Ann Arbor for a moderated conversation about addressing the climate crisis. She also visited Detroit in the fall of 2022 while highlighting job training programs.
