He ran in a 1999 special election in hopes of regaining the California State Assembly seat he previously held from 1978 to 1990, but lost to Green challenger Audie Bock.

In the 1999 election, Harris, an African-American, sent targeted mailers to households in selected precincts, mostly African American, urging voters to vote for him and receive a fried chicken meal if they presented a voting stub at selected supermarkets.

There was voter backlash because of the perception of vote buying and had a subtext of racism.

In his losing effort, Harris outspent Bock better than 16 to 1 ($550,000 to $33,000).

His legacy in Oakland includes the naming of the Elihu M. Harris State Office Building after him, which was built in downtown Oakland near the pre-existing Federal Building and City Hall.

The three proximate structures form a large triangle of massive government buildings in a larger business redevelopment area.
