The first, "Smart on Crime," was published in 2009 – the year before she was elected California attorney general.
Publishing books is a rite of passage for presidential prospects. Harris is the latest possible Democratic contender to publish a book since the 2016 presidential election. She joins former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro's book is expected this fall, and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who published a book last year, has another one – titled "Where We Go From Here" – due after November's midterm elections.
