Dear,

First, Katie Porter delivered universal free coronavirus testing with her masterful questioning of the CDC director during a congressional hearing.(1)

Then, last week, Katie Porter got tested for COVID-19 herself -- and, while in self-quarantine, used social media to fight for protective gear for health-care workers. (Thankfully, she tested negative.)(2)

Katie Porter is one of the true heroes of the coronavirus crisis, but she's also one of the GOP's top targets for defeat in 2020. She represents a red-leaning district, and we're going all out to make sure she gets reelected in November.

Will you donate $5 to help reelect Katie Porter?

While Trump and his enablers in Congress continue to downplay the severity of this crisis and bungle the response at every level -- endangering countless lives in the process -- Rep. Porter has been charging the way forward.

Katie did the math in a congressional hearing, showing that coronavirus testing could cost more than $1,300 out of pocket for the average American -- and forced the CDC to commit to free testing for all Americans.

Katie's amazing record doesn't end there. She's only been in Congress since early last year, but in that short time, Katie has put the big banks and pharma companies on notice with Jedi-level questioning -- and getting results.

But Rep. Porter is still facing a very competitive race for reelection. Her district leans red and Republicans are targeting it as one of their top pickup opportunities in November. The GOP is likely to flood the race with tens of millions of dollars in support of her opponent.

To counter that effort, Courage California is planning a major program to make sure Katie comes out on top. Using our voter guide and a state-of-the-art text-message and social media campaign, we're going to get the word out about this progressive champion so everyone in her district knows who they should vote for.

Working together, we can make sure Katie gets reelected and send her Republican opponent packing. But it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that happens. Will you chip in today to help reelect Rep. Porter?

Yes, I'll donate $5 today to help Katie Porter win in November.

Yours in the fight for our democracy,

Eddie, along with Angela, Anne, Brian, Caitlin, Deepthi, Gabby, Jay, Lindsay, Molly, and Raquel (the Courage team)
