[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

Hi John,

Elizabeth Warren here—and today I want to talk about my former student,
Congresswoman Katie Porter. 

Back in 2000, before either of us were in office, I was a law professor
and Katie was in my class. I still remember the first day we met. My
bankruptcy class was held early in the morning, meaning a lot of students
had their heads down, trying to avoid being called on. But not Katie. She
was bright eyed and ready to go. When the first answer she gave wasn’t her
strongest, she came to my office hours and said “please keep calling on
me. I am going to learn to do this.”

She certainly did learn,
John. Years later, in 2012, then
Attorney General of California Kamala Harris secured a settlement of $18
billion from our country’s biggest banks for their predatory lending
practices that spurred the 2008 housing crisis. She asked if I knew anyone
who could work as an “independent monitor” to make sure the Big Banks
actually paid California families the money they were now owed. It was a
massive undertaking, but I knew just the person for the job: my former
student Katie Porter. She held the banks’ feet to the fire and ensured
families received the money they were owed. 

A little later down the road, following the election of Donald Trump in
2016, Katie knew she didn’t want to sit on the sidelines–she was going to
run for office. 

I’ve been proud to support her since the very beginning, and even more
thrilled to see the incredible work she’s done in Congress. 

Katie has been a champion for families while in office. With the help of
her whiteboard, she’s stood up to CEOs from Big Banks and Big Oil
companies, held government officials accountable, and brought attention to
some of the issues most affecting working people. She’s been a relentless
champion for lowering the cost of child care, and recently introduced
legislation to prevent Big Oil from price gouging and lower the cost of
gas.

I’m so glad to have Katie as a partner in Congress. But right now, she’s
facing her toughest election yet. Due to redistricting, she has to
introduce herself to thousands of new voters and her district is made up
of an equal number of registered Democrats and Republicans.

[ [link removed] ]I know that when these new voters hear about Katie, they’re going to be
inspired to cast their ballots for her. If you can, consider pitching in
$10 or $20 today to her campaign to help power their organizing efforts
and keep Katie Porter in Congress.
