The California Democrat and progressive is promoting her book “I Swear: Politics Is Messier Than My Minivan.”
Porter has represented California’s historically conservative Orange County since 2019.
“Never having run for office before, Rep. Katie Porter defied expectations in 2018,” reads part of the promo copy for Porter’s book event Tuesday at the “Sixth & I” venue in Washington, D.C. “Underestimated as a single mom and chided for her progressive values, she quickly went viral for videos of her using a whiteboard to take CEOs and corrupt government officials to task in congressional hearings.”
Tickets cost $20, $38 with the book.
“Full of candid and inspiring stories– from how Rep. Porter lent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a pair of sneakers during the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, to her kids’ lightly illegal campaign hijinks– this is a book by an exhausted, committed parent who just doesn’t have the time for nonsense in her house,” the promo copy also reads.
