Dear,

Katie Porter is one of the most effective progressive champs we have in Washington.

But this November, she’s facing one of the toughest races in the country, running for reelection in an Orange County district that was once thought unwinnable for Democrats.

Katie is the first Democrat ever to win her congressional district. Republicans hold a ten-point registration edge in her district, and the district has gone for six of the last eight Republican presidential candidates.(1)

Now Republicans are getting ready to spend millions on attack ads to smear Katie’s record, and we need to have her back.

Will you donate to help beat back the GOP attacks and reelect Katie Porter this November?

Katie ended up on Trump’s target list when she became the first Democrat from a competitive district to support his impeachment.

Then she single-handedly secured free coronavirus testing for all with her questioning of Trump’s CDC head in a congressional hearing. And now she’s all over the media pushing for personal protective equipment for health-care workers on the front lines of the COVID pandemic.

Katie is one of the true heroes to emerge from the coronavirus crisis, but because her district is so closely balanced between the parties, Republicans have made her their biggest target.(2) And you better believe that the super PACS that spent millions against her in 2018 are returning with a vengeance.(3)

Courage California is launching one of our biggest text-message and social media "get-out-the-vote" campaigns ever to keep Katie Porter fighting for us in Congress. We’re also advertising our first-ever voter guide, which has proven to turn out young voters to the polls. If we're really going to take on the Republican operation that's pouring in outside money to attack Rep. Porter, we need your help today.

Katie Porter has been there for us. Now she needs us to stand with her. Will you donate to help Katie win reelection this 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)
