Katie Porter Is Going After Congressional Millionaires. Financial Disclosures Show She’s One Of Them.
1st March 2021
Rep. Katie Porter (D., Calif.), a self-styled working-class champion who has criticized the number of millionaires in Congress, has up to nearly $3 million in assets, filings show.
According to her most recent financial disclosure report, Porter has between $1.2 million and $2.8 million in assets. Porter’s leadership PAC, Truth to Power, recently solicited donations with a statement decrying the fact that millionaires comprise “a shockingly large portion of our federal government.”
I have no problem with legislators being millionaires, although it does rather make their Soak The Rich noises somewhat ludicrous.

My problem is with Congresscritters who become millionaires after entering Congress, as it seems most of them do.
