  # Meet Katie Katie Porter has been called “Congress’ toughest questioner” and “the leadership we desperately need.” After the 2016 election, Katie launched her first-ever campaign, motivated out of concern about Donald Trump. Two years later, she flipped the congressional seat from red to blue and became the first Democrat to represent the area in 75 years. Katie served three terms in Congress, receiving national attention for taking on Trump administration officials who failed Californians. In March 2020, when we had few tools to address the pandemic, her dogged oversight of Trump’s CDC Director, with her whiteboard, secured free COVID testing for every American. [...] Katie is a single mom of three kids. She lives with her family in Irvine, California. [...] In Congress, Katie passed bills to stop corporate cheaters and strengthen disaster response. She wrote new laws that crack down on health insurers wrongfully denying care and save patients thousands of dollars from Big Pharma’s unreasonable price hikes. She also passed legislation that would raise firefighter pay and strengthen mental health treatment for first responders. This year, Katie returned to teaching at the UC Irvine School of Law, where she is training a new generation of consumer advocates. As a UCI professor before going to Congress, Katie was appointed by then-Attorney General Kamala Harris to be California’s independent monitor of banks in a nationwide $25 billion mortgage settlement, helping families get back on their feet in the aftermath of the foreclosure crisis.
