Most of my career has been dedicated to consumer advocacy. I’ve always fought against the corporations and special interests that put profit first at the expense of working families -- especially older adults.
Because of the lack of consumer protections, older adults are often targeted and taken advantage of by fraudsters. To make it worse, there has been virtually no way for older Americans to report and resolve these instances of fraud.
That’s why I’m proud to share that last week, I backed a bipartisan bill that would make it easier for older adults to both report and resolve cases of fraud. I’m hopeful that this legislation will pass and help the thousands of older adults defrauded every year.
Standing against fraud is why I will also never send you a "sky is falling" email. I will never fake a donation match campaign to increase donations. And I will never lie to you, John, about where we stand when it comes to fundraising.
Running an ethical, truth-based campaign that doesn’t accept donations from corporate PACs or special interests can make it harder to raise the much-needed funds to defend my seat. But it’s the right thing to do, John.
Thanks for your support,
-- Katie Porter, Congresswoman, California's 45th Congressional District
