Katie Porter is yet another of the first-term House members elected in the 2018 election. She has generated less publicity than other first-term Reps, but has brains and chutzpah and is on the Financial Services Committee after a career as law professor and consumer finance reform advocate.

She studied at Harvard Law School under Elizabeth Warren, with a stellar career before being elected. [UPDATE: See, e.g., WaPo, here]

Campaign website About page. Wikipedia. Official House homepage. Websearch. From the latter link you can see this person hit the ground running, and she is ideally suited to represent the public interest on the Financial Services Committee. There were some smart California voters, when offered a real first class choice. Pay attention to see on an ongoing basis a skilled practitioner at work, for us.
