During her bid for the District Attorney position in 2003, Harris was fined for violating San Francisco campaign finance laws, exceeding a city-mandated campaign spending cap. She appeared before the city's ethics commission again in 2005, after sending out mailers on her own campaign letterhead to solicit donations for Phil Ting for assessor.
