Katie Porter Quotes

Katie is the master of follow-up. She outworked the banks. She just outworks everybody.

Hypocrisy is offensive because it's just a fancy word for lying.

My kids call me "Congressmom." It's the most powerful job that I will ever have.

Appraise' fits Eileen like her glove. She appraises every thing on a monetary basis, and when she can't figure that it's going to be worth an appreciable number of dollars and cents to her—'to the garage wid it,' as Katy would say." When

In my past, I had never aspired to be elected. I didn’t major in political science, serve in the military, lead in student government, or work my way up from local office. But I wanted to do the right things when I got to Washington, and it was this determination that launched my campaign. I was tired of people getting ripped off by corporations that cheated them, and a government that ignored them. And I was tired of not having any power to fix those things. I decided to run for Congress to get power. That is the naked truth about why everyone decides to run for Congress: They want power. The question we should be asking every candidate, every day, is what they will do with the power.

A strong and stable capitalist economy needs guardrails, and it’s the government’s responsibility to put them in place. The pillars of capitalism—competition, access to information, enforcement of contracts, protection of private property, and consumer choice—develop from the right mix of markets and regulation.

A strong and stable capitalist economy needs guardrails, and it’s the government’s responsibility to put them in place. The pillars of capitalism—competition, access to information, enforcement of contracts, protection of private property, and consumer choice—develop from the right mix of markets and regulation. The third issue is the most pernicious: the belief that our economy rewards the deserving (and, the unspoken counterpart, punishes those who are not). If you are making money and saving, you should be thankful to your employer and pretend the government had no role. If you are drowning in debt or struggling to put food on the table, you should remember that you are to blame and pretend the government had no role. Either way, in our economy, you get what you get and you shouldn’t get upset. The government isn’t responsible for your prosperity or your poverty. You are. These beliefs mask the reality that government shapes the contours of economic opportunity at every turn, from funding financial aid to allowing tax deductions on vacation homes. Those with income and wealth sufficient to cozy up to a president and get appointed to the cabinet can literally afford to take a rosy view of capitalism and a dim view of government intervention. No experience is required for financial regulators because there is no job to do; the economy, left unchanged, continues to build their wealth. And if today’s economy doesn’t work for you, that’s your fault.

Posey Porter, I solemnly swear that if anything happens to you, I will spare your mother the indignity of having to sort through your dildo box.

Two other guests, Charles Blow and Clint Watts, joined me on the panel with Bill Maher. They bantered back and forth, drawing laughs from the audience. I just sat there, feeling like a feminine decoration to be seen and not heard. Complaining per usual that Democrats are too liberal, Bill explained that he had always been “squishy” on abortion because

I wanted to be an example of how women can "have it all" when it comes to career and a family. I wanted to inspire my community to believe in government and to make serious policies that help families.

Reading is fundamental to a congressmember's work.

Hypocrisy is offensive because it's just a fancy word for lying.

As I see it, the real work of Congress is civic education. Democracy only functions if voters know what's going on in their government and elected representatives know what's going on in their communities.

My staff are a team, and I'm glad to be a member.

We elect leaders and give government resources so that it can solve problems that we cannot solve ourselves, no matter how much good ol' fashioned American willpower we each apply.

But like my parents were with me, I remain steadfast in my resolve. Promises are meant for keeping.

The staff have the answers, and I have the questions. Without their knowledge and hard work, I can only playact as a congressmember. To get things done, I need staff.

We elect leaders and give government resources so that it can solve problems that we cannot solve ourselves, no matter how much good ol' fashioned American willpower we each apply.

If prison had taught him one thing, it was that beautiful things were crushed—and perfect things didn’t exist at all.
