SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, said on Friday she would create a bipartisan council of advisors to give feedback on policy, if elected in the Nov. 5 election.

Harris also said she would put a Republican in her Cabinet.

"I don't want any "Yes' people. I want people to come in ... and kick the tires on ideas," she said while speaking at an event in Arizona for Republicans supporting her campaign.

"So I'm going to create a bipartisan council so we can put some structure around exactly this point. And do the work that is important," she added.
