[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

John,

When I first got to Washington in 2019, I was the only single mom of young
kids in Congress.

My life is quite different than most of my colleagues. When I’m not
meeting with constituents or prepping for a hearing, my time is spent
doing normal mom things—deciding what the hell I’m going to make for
dinner, sorting through never ending piles of laundry, and figuring out
how I’ll pay for college for my oldest and child care for my youngest. I’m
confident that being a mom makes me a better representative.

My longest days in Washington don’t compare to my busiest days as a mom.
Being a parent is a tough job, and our government needs to support
parents. Women in particular have been pushed out of the workforce during
the pandemic, childcare is unaffordable for families, and family’s budgets
are being squeezed by rising prices.

I’ll keep fighting for policies that address these issues to support moms
and the families they support. Because any mom can tell you: talking the
talk is one thing, but we need to implement real change to lift up parents
and families.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms out there,

Katie Porter
