It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country.
See my official statement below.
WATCH: @Repkatiehill Complete Farewell Address
"I am leaving now because of a double standard. I am leaving because I no longer want to be used as a bargaining chip."
Tomorrow I will join my colleagues to vote to affirm the impeachment inquiry and then deliver my final floor speech.
You can tune into my speech on @cspan sometime between 12:30 and 1:30pm ET.
See you then.
As our community works to rebuild after the #SaddleridgeFire, we are now faced with an escalating threat in the form of the #TickFire.
That’s why I sent this letter to President Trump and Administrator Gaynor to request their continued support and attention to this matter. ⬇️
#TickFire@LACOFD Firefighters braving arduous conditions shoring up and reinforcing containment lines. Supported by fixed wing retardant dropping aircraft the difficult work separating burned fuel from unburned vegetation continues.
Tick Fire: 4,300 acres & 5% containment; see IC update for addt’l info on the LACoFD website at https://t.co/xbhTBYium1. To our residents, please continue to heed evacuation orders. The Ready! Set! Go! guide is available on our website. For fire updates, follow @LACoFDPIO.
Thank you to all the firefighters and first responders working to keep our community safe during the #TickFire. Please listen to all emergency personnel and evacuate when told. Follow @LACOFD for more updates. Thinking of everyone in #SCV.

Finnish parliamentarians greeting @RepKatieHill today: California and #Finland share ambitious #climate goals! (Hopefully she’ll get the chance to wear these wool socks, despite global warming.)
Today marks the 4th anniversary of the worst gas leak in our nation’s history — a disaster that still has a lasting impact on our community in Porter Ranch. That’s why we need to shut #AlisoCanyon down. https://t.co/kT01SMlPsL
As Chairman of @OversightDems and a lifelong public servant, @RepCummings was our North Star. He defended the disenfranchised, fought for our nation’s children and dedicated his life to justice. We are honored to have called him a colleague, friend and House Democrat.
It was one of the greatest honors of my career to serve as Vice Chair of @OversightDems under @RepCummings. I will continue in my role as Vice Chair and look forward to supporting our Acting Chair @RepMaloney.
More information to come from the committee.
Incredible news: there will now be as many as twelve #Artemis missions! This is an incredible opportunity for all the hard-working folks in CA-25 who are part of @NASA_SLS to make history by going (back) to the moon and beyond. 🌙🚀https://t.co/2ONu02ErqE
