Katie Porter: “I respectfully request that the committee include the solutions I have proposed today in its reauthorization.”

I absolutely understand that I could have been better in those moments.

I’m going to hold myself to that standard, to do better and to acknowledge that I fell short.

I’m against Big Oil, Big Banks or Big Pharma screwing people over.

I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation … And if every question, you’re going to make up a follow-up question, then we’re never going to get there.
