Kamala Harris hasn’t made any public decisions about what her political future is going to be — but she has already created the organization that will help fuel it.
The former vice president established an LLC called Pioneer49 last month in her home state of California, according to her presidential campaign’s final financial disclosure that was filed last week and confirmed by a person familiar with the organization’s plans.
The disclosure form described the organization as an “entity to assist the former vice president” and is likely to help fuel Harris’ next political move.
“Pioneer” is Harris’ code name used by the Secret Service, and her LLC takes on the same naming convention used by former President Barack Obama in creating the organization Renegade44 when he left office. (Harris is the 49th vice president.)
Harris has kept any considerations about political future close to the vest, but she has told advisers and allies to keep her options open, POLITICO reported in November. There are essentially three options for Harris: run for governor of California in 2026, run for president again in 2028 or decline to run for office and be a leader of the party from the sidelines.
Harris, who flew to California after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, is expected to confer with close aides, allies and family over the next few months to make a decision about her next steps.
