Looking to set herself apart from a crowded field of Democratic contenders ahead of the 2020 primary season, Harris says she will fight to correct the injustices she sees in America today.

"The fight before us is a fight that is born out of optimism. It is born out of the knowledge and the belief and the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been," Harris said. "This is a fight that is born out of love of country. This is a fight we will win because I'm going to tell ya'll, I fully, fully intend on winning this election."

While several high-profile candidates have made stops in Clark County in recent months, Harris is the first major Democrat to visit Northern Nevada so far this year.

Alex Goff is Nevada’s representative to the Democratic National Committee. He says Northern Nevada will play a big role in deciding who will become the Democratic nominee for president.

"If you're looking to see how Nevada is going to go, you can tell by how Washoe County is going. You've got to get those voters to the table, so coming up here, developing relationships that will then pay off for you on caucus day--it's going to be important."
