SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and District Attorney Kamala Harris were in Iowa Monday, just days ahead of that state's first-in-the-nation caucus.
Newsom is campaigning for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Harris is stumping for Barack Obama. The campaigns are increasingly using Bay Area politicians with an eye towards California's primary election in February, according to San Francisco State University Professor and KCBS Political Analyst Joe Tuman.
"These people who have been asked to participate in the national campaign ...are also prominent fund raisers and lightening rods for that sort of thing," said Tuman.
