[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Senate



John,

First: Adam Schiff started running TV ads to boost our Republican
opponent, Steve Garvey, and push Katie out of the top two, which would
keep her out of Congress for good.

Then: He started sending mail to Republican voters encouraging them to
vote for Republican Steve Garvey.

Now: A Slate article says this “sneaky campaign tactic is a danger to all
Democrats not named Adam Schiff.” Here’s what else the article says:

* Schiff’s campaign is working tirelessly on [Garvey’s] behalf,
effectively running the Garvey campaign by proxy.

* All’s fair in politics, but it’s still a little surprising and more
than a little cynical that the man who raised millions from Democrats
after his censure vote for “fighting back” against the “MAGA base,” in
his own words, is now using those very same millions to elevate the
political prospects of a Trump-voting Republican. In other words,
Schiff is now using his coffers to fight for the MAGA base. And not
only in this race.

* Although this plan might work out for Schiff personally, there are
plenty of downside risks for Democrats elsewhere. If Schiff succeeds
in juicing Republican turnout for Garvey, it stands to reason that
those Republicans will also vote Republican down the ballot. Garvey
himself has no shot of winning, but there may well be closer races in
purple House and state legislative districts, school boards, and more
that could be swung by a surge in Republican turnout that Schiff is
spending millions to stoke.

* Purely as a matter of small-D democratic representation, this runoff
ought to be a rare opportunity for the state’s supermajority to
express its preference.

John, we can’t
let this sneaky play be the reason we lose Katie’s voice in Congress for
good. [ [link removed] ]Is there anything you can chip in today to help us fight back?
