Well, I would definitely head to D.C.

And one of the things I would head there for is not just Trump, but to meet with the congressional delegation.

Because I saw this when I was in Congress.

Our state government, whether that's the governor or the legislature in California, needs a much tighter partnership with our congressional delegation.

Because our biggest problems here, like housing, are not the biggest priorities of our congressional delegation.

That's a mismatch.

So definitely go to D.C.,

Hi, I'm Katie Porter.

And see where it goes from there.

Because if you can have a productive relationship, I'm not real confident it's going to last given what Trump's doing.

But I took Governor Newsom's advice here to be –

Get a positive thing going for as long as you possibly can.

And maybe we can make some progress on things like aid for fire victims that we have been waiting too long on.
