[ [link removed] ]Katie Porter for Senate



Adam Schiff has spent more
than $10 million *boosting* our Republican opponent. Let us explain:

In October, former baseball player Steve Garvey got into the race. Polls
initially showed him in third, behind us and Adam Schiff.

Then the Schiff campaign decided to go all in for Steve Garvey. The
campaign itself has spent more than $10 million to consolidate
conservative support behind Garvey. Their super PAC has spent millions
more, with ads from both airing on Fox News constantly. 

Garvey has risen in the polls, despite not running a single TV ad of his
own or taking any sort of real policy position in our debates. In polls,
he’s now consistently tied with Katie or slightly ahead.

This cynical play to boost a Republican into the top two may work to
further Schiff’s own career, but it threatens to box out qualified
Democratic women (and leave CA without a woman Senator for the first time
in over thirty years).

As reporters have said, “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.”

This is a dangerous play that has national implications. Republicans hold
the House majority by just a few seats, and several flippable districts
are here in California. If our state has a competitive Democrat on
Democrat contest in November, it will encourage Democratic voters to tune
in and show up. But a Republican on Democrat race for Senate here in
California threatens to depress Democratic turnout, as folks know this is
a safe blue seat.

Career politicians shouldn’t get to manipulate the electorate and buy
themselves a promotion.

There are just five days until the election, and we are doing everything
we can to beat Republican Steve Garvey and make it into the general
election, where we know Katie has a strong chance of winning. [ [link removed] ]Anything
you can give right now will help us defeat Republicans and send Katie
Porter to the Senate.
