Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I’ve
always
done
that
to
support
her
political
runs
for
office.
I’ve
done
that
on
the
2020
campaign.
And
I
continue
to
do
that
on
this
campaign,
because,
as
a
lawyer—again,
believing
in
the
rule
of
law,
our
Constitution,
our
democracy,
our
freedoms—that’s
why
we
must
support
Kamala
Harris.
—
Second
Gentleman
Doug
Emhoff,
in
comments
given
to
Law.com,
on
whether
he’s
planning
or
assisting
with
any
fundraisers
that
will
draw
in
lawyers
for
his
wife
Kamala
Harris’s
presidential
campaign.
Emhoff,
formerly
a
partner
at
DLA
Piper,
went
on
to
say
that
if
his
wife
becomes
President,
that
as
First
Gentleman
he’d
like
to
dedicate
time
to
“promoting
pro
bono
to
our
legal
community
and
making
sure
that
folks
out
there
are
able
to
have
the
means
and
support
to
access
our
legal
system,
because
it’s
the
right
thing
to
do.”
He
concluded,
noting
that
he’d
use
his
platform
“to
continue
as
first
gentleman,
as
a
lawyer,
to
step
up
for
those
values.”
