[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Senate



Before
being elected to Congress, I was a law professor and consumer advocate.

I loved teaching—but I’ll be honest, I didn’t always teach the sexiest
subjects. I taught the uniform commercial code, often at 8 am.

I quickly realized that to get my students to learn the subject matter, I
had to make it engaging. I came up with all sorts of acronyms, and was a
big fan of the visuals I could draw on the whiteboards that line UC Irvine
classrooms.

When I got to Congress, I realized I was being presented with a similar
challenge. Congressional Hearings were often boring. They were being
treated as these perfunctory things.

I realized as a new Member, I didn’t have a ton of power or sway. But I
did have a few minutes in Congressional Hearings—and I could meticulously
prepare for them, bring engaging props (like the whiteboard), and enact
real change through those hearings.

It was through my questioning of a Trump Administration official in a
hearing in March 2020 that we secured free COVID testing for every
American.

Through hearings, I’ve been able to show how corporate greed has driven
inflation, how the Pentagon is full of waste, and the widening gap between
CEO and worker pay.

just getting started—can you pitch in $5, $15, or $50 today to help send
me to the U.S. Senate so I can continue holding power to account?
