Katie Porter serves as the U.S. Representative for California’s 45th congressional district. In just 2 years, Representative Porter has become deputy chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and gained a national profile for her analytical and original questioning in congressional hearings. Her meteoric rise, flipping off a competitive seat, and position on prestigious congressional committees have driven widespread speculation of her future as a potential leader of her party. Before entering politics, Representative Porter served as an independent monitor of banks for California and taught as a law professor at the University of California.

Katie Potter is a shining light on the HILL AND THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS.

She is just brilliant and so eloquent in articulating difficult issues, and poses really substantive QUESTIONS .

I wish my representative was more like this young lady. Way to go Congresswoman.

Amazing guest. A true representative for the people.
Keep going Madam Porter

I love Katie Porter. She is exemplary.

What an incisive and clear thinker, Katie is wonderful. Wonder how she would be working across the the aisle to get big things done. 1) affordable housing, 2) affordable day care and elder care, 3) increase revenues from those not paying their fair share, 4) make healthcare affordable and sustainable, & 5) make gun manufacturers liable.

An amazing woman. That kind of bright, concise mind paired with integrity and intellectual curiosity should be the MINIMUM for participating in public office.

Hope Katie and Stacey Abrams stay D.C. ambitious.and don't get frustrated.🇺🇸🔵

Katie Porter gives me optimism. She is an awesome role model for lawmakers.

[janicechildress]

Unfortunately only one party is capable of self reflection, now time to scream loudly right from wrong. Pushback is essential on Regrubs that refuse to do their jobs obstruction has got the U.S. falling and failing behind, no PACs and dark money, FOR the PEOPLE ACT!📂💕

Dear Mr Grimupnorth, I have read your comments and I would like to thank you, I thank you for your continuous response to every comment and totally go against anything anyone says asking for lots of evidence where I believe this lady has more than enough provided evidence on TV and is actually doing something with her life. I would say this lady and you are the extreme opposite of each other, this lady seems happy, not you. She doesn't wake up with an empty life, unlike you and she is and has proved the evidence, you haven't. My only advice is your name Grim speaks volumes, if you try a different drug and change to happy pills, now show me that your a positive individual and show me your evidence, please Mr Grim😁

Eeew... what we see here ladies and gentlemen, is a bully. And not a Katie but a true Karen... Firing a co-worker because this worker has that Unnamed Virus?

[grimupnorth]

Softball questions from a captured institution?

[grimupnorth]

Gender/race pay gap debunked a million times...yet still pushing it, show me the evidence!

[grimupnorth]

Working on the cost of housing, helping socialist middle-class kids avoid paying for college degrees (in media and African studies)...this woman is the embodiment of why California is a failed state and i have only watched 2 min.
