[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

Hi John,

In the spirit of many of us spending some extra time with family this
week, I thought I’d tell you what most prepared me to effectively question
people during congressional hearings: being a mom.

Take, for example, when I ask one of my sons if they have done their
homework. Sometimes you get the ‘Well, I..’ and I say ‘No, the answer is
no.’

I still haven’t met a witness who was as tough as my kids. I mean, one of
sons has a sign on his door that says ‘zero emissions 2030 or do not
enter.’

My time as a professor also taught me how to cut through the BS answers
people give. I could tell when students were hungover and hadn’t done the
reading, and I can tell when government officials don’t know things they
should about the agencies they oversee (looking at you, Postmaster DeJoy).

Effectively questioning witnesses isn’t just about calling them out. It’s
about doing my job as a member of Congress to oversee those in power and
hold them accountable. I’m proud to do it, and thankful for my kids and
the students who allowed me to sharpen my skills.

—Katie
