Katie Porter!! My Congresswoman!!
The Freshman Democrat Whos Making Conservatives Squirm
In Porters mind, the American public is hungry for proof that their government is working for them. As a result, she throws herself into hearings; she understands that the five minutes she has with a witness are the most direct form of democratic action available to herher best chance to tease out answers to the questions that matter most to her constituents.
Its also why her videos keep going viral; her ability to demystify technical, often esoteric financial concepts is a boon to those who understand that nitty-gritty details, all the minutiae of government work, are important, but arent sure how to connect the dots. Its not all that different from what she used to do as a professor, and as a textbook author; now, she just has a much larger audience.
