The Fall And Rise Of Former Congresswoman Katie Hill


Listen Later

In 2018, Katie Hill shocked the nation when she flipped the historically red 25th district of California, becoming its first Democratic congresswoman in decades. Katie, now 32, was also the first woman to hold the seat, and the first openly LGBTQ woman to be elected to Congress from California. But when her abusive ex-husband released comprising photos of Katie to a right-wing website, she was forced to resign just six months into her term.
