Congresswoman Porter is committed to being open and transparent about who she meets with both in Washington, D.C. and in Orange County, California. Each month, she’ll publish a list of groups, associations and individuals she met with so that the public can know how she’s spending her time working for the people of the 47^th District of California. Note that Rep. Porter will host many other public events – including town halls or listening sessions – which will not appear on this list.

If you would like to set up a meeting with Congresswoman Porter or her staff, please contact us here.
