#296 The Only Single Mother In Congress On Getting Kids Back In School Ft. Rep Katie Porter

Sami and Amanda are joined by Rep. Katie Porter of California to talk all things education. Rep. Porter -- who has three children and is the only single mother in Congress -- talks frankly about parenting during a pandemic and why she is uniquely familiar with the challenges facing working parents when it comes to educating their kids. Porter, who famously got the CDC director to commit to free coronavirus testing, blasts Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany for failing to provide any plans or letting science guide the way. Finally, Rep. Porter explains what she’s looking for in school re-opening plans as a mother and as a member of the United States Congress.
