Katherine Moore Porter[1] (born January 3, 1974) is an American law professor, attorney, and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 45th congressional district since 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the first Democrat to be elected to represent the district, which covers much of south-central Orange County, including Irvine, Tustin and Lake Forest along with large slices of Anaheim and Laguna Niguel. Porter attended Harvard University and Yale University; she most recently taught at the University of California, Irvine School of Law.

Early life and education[edit]

Porter was born on January 3, 1974, and grew up in a small farming community in Iowa.[2] Her father was a farmer-turned-banker.[3]

After graduating from Phillips Academy,[1][4] Porter attended Yale University, where she majored in American studies.[5] Her undergraduate thesis was titled The Effects of Corporate Farming on Rural Community.[6]

Porter later attended Harvard Law School, where she studied under current U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, and graduated magna cum laude with her Juris Doctor in 2001.[3]

Career[edit]

In 2006, Porter joined the faculty of the University of Iowa College of Law.[7] Since 2011, Porter has been a tenured professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law.[5] Her textbook Modern Consumer Law addresses consumer laws in light of Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.[8]

In March 2012, California Attorney General Kamala Harris appointed Porter to be the state's independent monitor of banks in a nationwide $25 billion mortgage settlement.[9] As monitor, she oversaw the banks' implementation of $9.5 billion in settlement reforms for Californians.[10]

U.S. House of Representatives[edit]

H.Res.4663 — 116th Congress (2019-2020) Freedom from Price Gouging Act, sponsored by Porter
Main article: 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in California § District 45

In the 2018 elections, Porter ran for the United States House of Representatives against two-term incumbent Republican Mimi Walters in California's 45th congressional district.[11][12] Porter defeated Walters[13] to become the first Democrat to represent the 45th district or its predecessors since it was created in 1983.[14][15] Her victory was part of a Democratic sweep of Orange County, long reckoned as a bastion of suburban conservatism. For the first time since 1936, the Democrats took all four previously held Republican seats (including Porter's) in Orange County and now hold all seven seats covering the county.

Porter did not accept corporate PAC money in her bid for Congress.[16] She was endorsed by End Citizens United, a political action committee seeking to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court 2010 decision Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.[17] Porter has cited an overhaul of campaign finance laws and protection of voting rights as legislative priorities.[16]

Help America Run Act[edit]

In March 2019, Porter introduced the "Help America Run Act" (H.R.1623), a bill that would allow people running for the House or Senate to use campaign contributions to pay for healthcare premiums, elder care, child care and dependent care. The bill was passed by the House in October 2019 and moved on to the Senate for a final vote.[18]

Congressional questioning[edit]

Porter has earned a reputation for her tough and pointed questioning of officials during congressional hearings, often using visual aids.[19][20]

In March 2020, she used five minutes of questioning to get the chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert R. Redfield, to agree to use its legal authority to make testing for the COVID-19 virus free for all Americans.[21]

She has also attracted attention for her questioning on the House Financial Services Committee. In March 2019, her questioning caught Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan contradicting what his corporate lawyers were arguing in court, in that statements he had previously made pledging transparency were "corporate puffery", according to documents lawyers submitted.[22][23] In April 2019, Porter drew attention for her questioning of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon about how a Chase bank teller should make up a $567 shortfall between her monthly budget and her paycheck.[24] In May 2019, she asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson about "REOs", real-estate owned properties, which he confused with Oreo cookies and subsequently gave her a box following the hearing. [25] She also asked Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director Kathy Kraninger to solve some math problems about annual percentage rates on payday loans, which Kraninger declined to do.[26]

Committee assignments[edit]

Caucus memberships[edit]

Personal life[edit]

Porter was previously married to Matthew Hoffman, with whom she has three children. Porter said during her campaign that her marriage was marked by physical and mental abuse. According to Porter, her husband punched her, shoved her one-year-old daughter across the kitchen, threatened to kill himself, and hurled profane insults at her family.[28] The couple divorced in 2013, and Porter is now a single mother with custody of their children.
