Warren for Senate: [link removed]
Hey, it's Katie Porter. You
might know me as “the woman with the whiteboard.”
I’m also the only Democrat in California’s competitive U.S. Senate race
who has never taken a dime of corporate PAC money and refuses
contributions from federal lobbyists. Here’s a story behind that pledge:
A few years ago I attended a reception for newly elected Members in DC. A
lobbyist came up to me and said “I guess you’re one of the Members we’ll
never see.” I asked him what he meant. He said it was because I was one of
the newly elected Members who was bucking tradition and refusing corporate
PAC money.
Since that day, I’ve said clearly — if lobbyists want to see me, they can
see me. But they better bring their good ideas, not their checkbooks. For
example, there are lobbyists for organizations like Planned Parenthood who
I’m happy to work with and learn from. But no matter who they are lobbying
for, I won’t be swayed by their checks.
[ [link removed] ]Elizabeth Warren and I are some of the very few Members who refuse
lobbyist donations. In fact, there are just 11 of us in the U.S. House.
That means we rely on your grassroots support to tackle corruption in
Washington together. Can you split a donation between our
grassroots-powered campaigns today?

Americans deserve to know that their Senators work for them — not special
interests. Whether it’s using my whiteboard to hold Wall Street CEOs
accountable or passing legislation to prevent Big Pharma from
price-gouging, I’m proud to fight for working people and reflect this
principle in my campaign’s financing. In addition to rejecting federal
lobbyist money, I also don’t accept a dime from corporate PACs, Big Oil,
Big Pharma, and Big Bank CEOs.
I’m running in a tough primary to serve as California’s next Senator, and
Election Day for us is just over three months away. In moments like this
when campaigning gets competitive, I don’t call up corporate interests who
want to trade large checks for political favors. I send emails like this
one to grassroots supporters like you.
Elizabeth fundraises for her campaign the same way: Through grassroots
support. She has been a mentor to me ever since she was my law processor
in the early 2000s, and she taught me early on that nobody gets elected
alone.
[ [link removed] ]So that’s why I’m reaching out. Are you able to split a donation to
support my campaign for Senate and Elizabeth’s re-election campaign so we
can fight together in the Senate?
Thanks for everything,
Katie Porter
