[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

John,

When I first ran for Congress in 2018, I campaigned on the promise that if
I was elected, I would do things differently: I wanted to be in Congress
to truly represent my constituents, to make their lives easier and better.

When I was sworn in, I was excited to make good on that promise. But I
found that it wasn’t that simple. Yes, there was resistance from
conservatives. But there were also antiquated rules and customs that
didn’t serve any clear purpose besides stopping people like me from
shaking up the status quo. And of course, there are the special
interests–lobbyists, super PACs, and corporations who want to hold on to
their profit and power at the expense of everyday Americans.

I quickly realized how important it is to have allies in Congress.

[ [link removed] ]That’s why in the summer of 2020 I started Truth to Power, an
organization dedicated to electing leaders who will stand up to corporate
special interests and fight for equal rights, political and economic
reform, a woman’s right to choose, gun violence prevention, and concrete
action to fight climate change.

Truth to Power is a ‘Leadership PAC.’ This is a type of PAC that can only
be started by a member of Congress, and Truth to Power is quite different
from the corporate PACs you're used to hearing about. We’re funded by
working people like you–our average donation is around $17. And the money
we raise goes directly to the candidates I endorse. I only endorse
candidates who I believe in, and I’m proud that we’re able to support
their campaigns when they’re just getting off the ground (this is the MOST
critical time for a new candidate’s fundraising).

As we gear up for the 2022 election cycle, [ [link removed] ]I’m asking if you can split
a donation between my campaign and Truth to Power. Our first round of
endorsements is coming soon, and this is one of the most useful times to
make a donation.

In 2020, Truth to Power supported first time candidates like
now-Congressmen Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones. Since joining me in
Washington, they’ve been vocal partners in the fight for things like
voting rights, legislation that actually addresses climate change, and
lowering costs for families.

We’re just getting started,
John. [ [link removed] ]Help us gear up for 2022.
