This is core to who I am.

Washington DC is broken. [Katie Porter for Senate]( It is incredibly clear that Washington, D.C. is broken. We have seen Washington fail to act on our most pressing issues, often siding with special interests and corporations over Californians. In instances where progress has been made, it has been too little, too late. Before my election six years ago, I worked as a consumer advocate and law professor. I sat with families across the state who had lost their homes to predatory lenders. I didn’t spend the last 20 years being wined and dined by lobbyists in D.C. Instead, I spent those years holding corporate cheaters and government officials accountable. Now, in the U.S. House, I have a reputation for “doing Congress” differently. I am one of just 11 members of the House and the only person in this race who refuses contributions from federal lobbyists. I am the only person in this race who has never, ever taken corporate PAC money. I didn’t change my stance on that to boost my credibility in this Senate race. It is core to who I am, and it reflects why I do things in Washington differently. Here’s where we’re at in this race: early polling suggests that I am in a very strong position to win the general election, no matter the other candidate, but the math in this primary on March 5 is weird. A celebrity Republican is gaining traction in the polls, and he could advance to second place and keep us from qualifying for the general election. [So]( I have to ask today: Will you make your first contribution to help me reach the voters who will decide the outcome of the primary election on March 5?]( Thank you, Katie Katie is running for the U.S. Senate because Californians deserve a warrior fighting for them in Washington. Our campaign is people-powered, we don’t take a dime from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or executives from Big Oil or Big Pharma.
