WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris will address a labor convention Wednesday in Las Vegas and meet with Nevada lawmakers on protecting reproductive rights, according to a White House announcement.
Harris will speak at the United Steelworkers’ annual convention being held this week at the MGM Grand. She is also expected to meet with officials with Culinary Local 226.
The vice president met on Monday at the White House with university presidents about abortion rights on college campuses.
