| Dear, It’s not just that Katie Porter single-handedly secured free testing for the coronavirus, or exposed Trump’s gross negligence in the face of the public health crisis. Katie is a single mom who’s been quarantining with her three children -- homeschooling and parenting her kids while working for her constituents in the middle of a global pandemic.(1) Congress needs dozens more Katie Porters, whip-smart fighters for justice who know what it’s like to raise a family and earn a living as a single mother. But Katie’s reelection is far from certain. She’s a first-year member of Congress representing a Republican-leaning district, and the GOP has made her their number-one target. It’s critical that we have her back this November. Will you donate to help us reelect Katie Porter, coronavirus hero and Congress’s only single mother? Katie has been fighting the pandemic from the get-go. She single-handedly ensured that coronavirus tests would be free with her persistent questioning of CDC head Robert Redfield at a congressional hearing.(2) She exposed how Trump helped corporations make a quick buck on the public health crisis, sending critically important medical supplies overseas when he should have been preparing for the pandemic to hit the United States.(3) She did most of this while quarantining at home with her three kids, after she experienced symptoms that are consistent with the coronavirus. Luckily, she ended up testing negative.(4) And even though 1 in 5 children across the United States is raised by a single mother, Katie is the only single mom in Congress.(5) Her experience helps her fight harder for progressive causes, from equal pay to making ends meet in times of economic crisis. But she’s running for reelection in a GOP-leaning district, and Republicans will flood her race with tens of millions of dollars to back her opponent. That’s why Courage California is planning a major effort to make sure that Katie wins. Using our voter guide and a state-of-the-art text-messaging program, we're going to make certain that everyone in her district knows all the ways Katie has been fighting for people just like them, day in and day out. Will you chip in to help Courage California reelect congresswoman and supermom Katie Porter? Yours in the fight for our democracy, Caitlin, along with Angela, Anne, Brian, Deepthi, Eddie, Gabby, Jay, Lindsay, Molly, and Raquel (the Courage team) Footnotes:  |
