John,
Last month, we asked you: what issues should Katie tackle next on her
whiteboard?
This week, we finally took some time to analyze the survey results and
your answers. Here are a few things we’ve found:
* Climate change was one of the most-talked about—if not the most-talked
about—issues on the survey. Katie is proud to serve on the Natural
Resources Committee in Congress and is proud to press for urgent
action to halt the climate crisis, and also focus on protecting our
oceans, natural lands, and endangered species. With her whiteboard,
she’s ready to hold polluters accountable in the same way she holds
billionaire CEOs and unqualified government officials accountable.
* Debt, particularly around student loans, was also another big point of
concern. Student loan debt is a multi-generational crisis. During her
time in Congress, Katie’s worked to crack down on abusive debt
collectors and predatory student loan agreements.
* Finally, the issue of affordable childcare was something that came up
as a huge point of concern on nearly every single response to the
survey. We’re right to feel that way,
John—we haven’t adjusted how
much working parents can set aside pre-tax for childcare since the
1980s. The pandemic has only exacerbated the issues around affordable
childcare and working parents. And as one of the only single moms of
young kids in Congress, Katie knows how important it is that we invest
in our children.
We wanted to also extend a big thank you to survey respondents for taking
the time to share your thoughts with us. And if you weren’t able to take
the survey, that’s okay—we’re glad you’re a part of our grassroots team!
And as we’ve said before,
John: this work isn’t just
about Katie’s vision. It’s about the hundreds of thousands of supporters
like you. Thank you for continuing to share that vision with us.
More soon,
Katie Porter HQ
