Elizabeth Warren here.
As a law professor, I had the privilege of getting to know so many brilliant, hardworking students over the years.
And now I have the honor of supporting one of them for U.S. Senate.
Her name is Katie Porter.
Maybe you've seen how she wields a whiteboard. Maybe you've heard the tough questions she asks Wall Street CEOs. And maybe you're ready to help send this courageous champion to the Senate, so she can keep fighting for families in California and across the country.
I still remember the day when I met Katie. My consumer law class was early in the morning, meaning a lot of students had their heads down, trying to avoid being called on. But not Katie. She was determined and ready to go. When the first answer she gave wasn't her strongest, she came to my office hours and said, "Please keep calling on me. I am going to learn to do this."
Getting to know her, I saw her bone-deep commitment to making a difference in people's lives.
Years later, then-Attorney General of California Kamala Harris secured a settlement of $18 billion from our country's biggest banks for their predatory lending practices. She called me asking if I knew anyone who could serve as an "independent monitor" and make sure the big banks paid up. I recommended Katie for this massive undertaking, and boy did she deliver. She served as a watchdog over Wall Street banks, held their feet to the fire, and ensured California families received the billions they were owed.
When Katie decided to run for Congress in 2018, I was very happy to support her. I knew that we needed more people like her in Washington — who understood the real experiences that working families faced, who had the courage to stand up to big corporations and special interests, and who would fight to make our government work for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.
A Democrat hadn't represented her district for decades, but she knew exactly how to personally connect with voters, build a strong movement, and win. She flipped that seat, and she's been winning for working people ever since.
Simply put, Katie delivers. She's smart and she isn't afraid. She stands up to Wall Street and Big Pharma, she holds fossil fuel companies accountable, and she fights to protect our rights. She is exactly who Californians need as their next senator, and I'm very happy to support her.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
