Play Katie's new game: "JeoparDoD"
Oversight is Katie's first love, and last week she quizzed Department of Defense (DoD) officials on their own budget during an Oversight Committee Hearing through her new game—"JeoparDoD."
Spoiler alert: They didn't do great.
Take the same quiz they did and see how you compare today!

Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it's taxpayers who lose.
Defense contractors and corporations' pockets are being padded thanks to their influence in politics. In fact, defense contractors spent $101 million on lobbying in just the first three quarters of 2022.
Lax Pentagon oversight coupled with a lack of accountability is wasteful, reckless, and unacceptable. As a champion of oversight, Katie Porter is going to keep pushing against leaders in both parties to make sure taxpayer dollars aren't handouts to private defense contractors.
Take our quiz today to see how much you know about one of the largest recipients of our nation's budget.
Good luck!
—Team Katie Porter
