Part of the federal government is shuttered, but the new class of lawmakers will be sworn in Thursday. Among them are Democrats Katie Hill from Northern LA County, and Katie Porter from Orange County. Both flipped Republican House seats. KCRW’s Michell Eloy is spending time with Hill and Porter in DC.
