Katie Hill launches organization to elect women, young people

Former Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.) has launched an organization aimed at electing women and young people.

Her Time will help elect “the long-shot candidates who have the vision and drive needed to make lasting, systemic change in America,” according to the group’s announcement on Thursday.

The group will mobilize and support young women to “break through those final glass ceilings” and “claim our power by voting, getting involved in politics and running for office,” according to the website.

Her Time will offer young women a way to “claim our own power by voting, getting involved in politics, and running for office,” Hill said on the group's website.

“What happened to me was horrific, and it was a harsh reminder of how women in power and politics still have so far to go and so much to overcome,” Hill said. “Her Time’s work - my work - is to ensure that my experience never deters other young women from running for office and getting engaged, and instead does the opposite.”

1. "What happened to me was horrific"

Not really Katie. You actively engaged in an ethics violation. Now whether or not she should have resigned is certainly open to debate, but there was nothing “horrific” about it. Plenty of men have stepped down for similar incidents.
