She still has fundraisers at her home. We've attended many of her events, most recently for Josh Turek, Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, and my favorite, Jamie Raskin. Many more in past years, such as Nancy Pelosi, Mark Kelly, Pete Buttigieg, Jen Psaki.
I forget exactly when, but around four years ago we attended one for Katie Porter. The minimum varies, but usually at least $300 per person, so let’s say we contributed around $600 to her. There were around 70 or so attendees.
After her speech she mingled with the crowd and I was able to get a brief one-on-one with her. I forget some of the details but I asked her about the minimum wage, that I agree it should be higher in parts of California, but I was also concerned how this might affect those living in low-populated rural areas where the economy isn’t as vibrant. For example, jobs for teens working summer jobs at the local ice cream shop might go away, etc.
Her response to me was essentially that I'm dumb, stupid, ignorant, and how dare I ask a question like that of someone so brilliant. She then turned and walked away to speak with someone else.
The person shouting at her staff member and storming out of an interview with CBS is the same one I met. I've not cared for her since, to say the least.
