[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Governor





I just finished my first term back in the classroom after my time in
Congress, and my kids just wrapped up their school year, so I’ve been
thinking again about the importance of teaching and learning.

In many ways, serving in elected office is pretty similar to being a
professor.

I learned how to question (sometimes incompetent) witnesses in hearings
because as a teacher, I had learned how to get an answer out of hungover
students who hadn’t done the reading. I had also learned that if you only
call on the highest, loudest hands, you’ll only ever hear from a certain
subset of people.

If elected officials are doing the job right, they should be constantly
learning—from colleagues, experts, stakeholders, and everyday people—about
the challenges communities face and possible solutions. And, they should
be teaching: bringing people together, building political support, and
keeping constituents up to date about what’s happening in government.

That’s the kind of mindset I’ll bring to my work as governor. I’m going to
be in communities, touring, listening, and learning. I want to bring all
voices to the table to tackle California’s biggest challenges.
