The actress highlighted Harris’ New Way Forward plans to “lower costs and strengthen Pennsylvania’s freedoms.”

“I think it’s great that (Kamala Harris) is going to help small businesses get started,” Garner said. “I think it’s great that she’s going to help young people or first-time homebuyers and that she’s going to build more homes and really tackle the housing crisis that we have in this country.”

This isn’t the star’s first time in Lancaster County.

“I love Lancaster. When I was 23, I was living in New York and going to play an Amish kid in a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie,” Garner said. “I was all method. I didn’t even have lines. And I found a 25 year old who helped me rent a car so I could drive there and spend a day. I ended up finding little places to stay because I loved it so much.”

Garner has starred in numerous films, including the newest and most successful R-rated film of all time, Deadpool and Wolverine. She also won a Golden Globe for the TV series ‘Alias’ and was nominated for four Prime Time Emmys for the series.
