Katie Hill is a former Congresswoman from California’s 25th District. At 31, she was as one of the youngest members of the historic freshman class that flipped the House and served as the Vice Chair for the House Oversight and Reform Committee and on the powerful House Armed Services Committee. Prior, Katie worked as Executive Director of PATH (People Assisting The Homeless), the largest homeless services organization in California.
After resigning from Congress in 2019 over an admitted affair with a young female campaign staffer, and leaked nude photos, Katie founded the PAC Her Time, whose mission is to help elect women and young people -- the long-shot candidates who have the vision and drive needed to make lasting, systemic change in America. She is also the author of the 2020 book She Will Rise: Becoming a Warrior in the Battle for True Equality.
Katie opens up about her past, what the future holds for her and whether she'll run again, and what she thinks about the current political landscape.
