Sen. Kamala Harris, fresh off a debate-fueled bounce in the Democratic primary, is headed to Utah

Surging presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris will come to Salt Lake City later this month for two events, including a campaign fundraising dinner.

The California Democrat, who served as a prosecutor before being elected to the Senate, has catapulted to national prominence over the past few months as a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination. She enjoyed a big bounce in national polls after a strong performance in her first Democratic debate last week, where she challenged former Vice President Joe Biden over his record on race and segregation.

The July 17 Utah swing will include a noncampaign luncheon and a campaign fundraising dinner, both at The Wave, a Salt Lake City co-working space and social club for women and marginalized genders.
