Katie Hill resigned from Congress in November 2019 amid a flurry of scandals. She's encouraging women to run for office, and hopes Christy Smith will fill her vacant seat.
Delegates across 14 states and one territory will vote for a Democratic candidate for president on Super Tuesday, the biggest primary day of 2020. There are also several local races taking place, including a special election to fill the vacant seat left by former congresswoman Katie Hill of California’s 25th congressional district.
While Hill says she wouldn’t change anything about her political journey — from running for office to resigning — she said her story is far more relatable than others may initially believe. “I think people, women especially, need to know it’s not personal. What happens to you is about misogyny in general… and that’s the fight that we’re here for. It’s not something like cyber exploitation — that’s the extreme — but you’re going to get trolled, you’re going to get attacked on everything from your appearance to whether you’re nice enough to whether you’re smiling enough... It’s a neverending kind of flow, but it’s also something that I think has to happen.
Story continuesSince leaving Congress, Hill has formed a political action committee, Her Time, which endorses female candidates. She also has a memoir coming out this summer.
