former U.S. Representative Katie Hill, that’s what I thought about her. But then, I had second thoughts. Could it be that her misfortune will one day propel her back to political prominence?
And, could the circumstances of her recent downfall only serve to pave an easier path for others in her generation to follow?Hill ran for the U.S.
House seat in California’s 25th congressional district in what was billed at the time as the “most millennial campaign ever” – and this attribution ended up being an important harbinger to what would befall Hill and what she might become.
At the age of 31, she turned that red district blue, soundly defeating a Republican incumbent. She assumed office in January 2019 and was immediately placed in a House.
