[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Congress

John,

I grew up in Iowa in the 1970’s and 80’s. The Farm Crisis had a real
effect on my community—people filing for bankruptcy, families losing the
farms they had relied on for generations, and local businesses closing
down. My own family struggled, managing to keep our home because my dad
left farming and took a job at the local bank.

I saw firsthand the toll bankruptcy and financial hardship took on
families. Later I’d go on to law school, where I spent hours in bankruptcy
court observing again how the courts and banks treated American families.

During the foreclosure crisis, that experience would lead to my
appointment by then Attorney General Kamala Harris to be the state’s
watchdog over Wall Street Banks. My job was to oversee a massive
settlement that required them to help California families get back on
their feet.

All this to say, my experience outside of Washington informs my work in
Congress: holding people like Chase CEO Jamie Dimon accountable during
congressional hearings, introducing legislation to lower costs for
families, and drawing attention to the issues that Americans are facing.

I first ran for Congress because I saw how special interests and those
with power were taking advantage of American families. I’m proud to
continue that work today, and it’s why I’m running for reelection.

Thank you for being a part of our campaign and making that work possible.
