[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

There’s one thing that most prepared me to effectively question a witness
during a Congressional hearing: being a mom.

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

I still haven’t met a witness or constituent who was as tough on me as my
kids. I mean, one of them calls me a “neoliberal.”

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 about calling them out for a
TikTok moment. 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.
