The ex-pat of Matthew Hoffman and US lawmaker Katie Porter is one of the most obvious opposition figures in the US Congress.

Representative Katie Porter was one of the powerful women on the other side of the aisle who made surprising statements in response to Donald Trump’s election to the presidency and an anti-race encounter.

After bravely confronting CEOs and legislators, learning about their activities, and interrogating them until they were perplexed, the majority rule figure has recently become a rising celebrity.

In 2003, Porter wed Matthew Hoffman, and the two became parents to three kids. She said during her campaign that verbal and physical abuse had been a feature of her marriage.

The whereabouts of Matthew Hoffman remain a mystery after their divorce. Hoffman is accused of assaulting Porter, pushing her 1-year-old daughter across the kitchen, threatening to commit suicide, and using derogatory language toward Porter’s family.

She asked for a restraining order against him in 2013. In the same year, they divorced. Porter, who is now a single mother, has custody of their children. The name Betsy was given to her daughter by Elizabeth Warren.
