This quarter, Congresswoman Katie Porter has introduced a whopping 6 pieces of legislation aimed at increasing transparency in government, earning the American people's trust, and more!
Here's a round-up of that legislation Katie introduced:
1) The Legislative Proxy and Absence Accommodation Resolution will allow Members to once again vote by proxy in the case of illness or another unavoidable absence, keeping Congress running and giving Americans the representation we deserve.
2) The Majority Rule Resolution ends the filibuster, which has prevented Congress from passing legislation that is broadly popular with a majority of the American people.
3) The Congressional Bipartisan Seating Resolution would set in stone a bipartisan recommendation to alternate seating of Members' party affiliation during committee hearings. This will foster a more collaborative working environment between both parties.
4) The Lobbying Disclosure Modernization Act would finally consolidate information about who is lobbying in Congress into one accessible platform for public viewing. This would increase transparency and trust.
5) The Block the Revolving Door Act would institute a two-year ban on lobbying for former Members of Congress and other high-level government employees.
6) The Presidential Ethics Reform Act would require presidents and vice presidents to publicly disclose their tax returns. Voters have a right to know where their future leaders have been getting their money — and from whom.
Katie is focused on the future of our country, because she's seen how desperately we need to enact real change.
Too many politicians are beholden to corporate PAC and lobbyist money and a system of legalized corruption. Our housing crisis, climate change, and rising prices are a direct result of this system, which puts corporate profits ahead of people.
Thank you!
