Dear,

Katie Porter has been one of the top champions for the people from the minute she was sworn into office -- and since the coronavirus pandemic hit, America desperately needed her leadership.

She forced the head of the Centers for Disease Control to promise free COVID-19 testing.¹ She called out Trump's head of the Small Business Association for abusing the $650 million Paycheck Protection Program.² She publicized the airlines' use of coronavirus funding for lobbying.³

But Katie is also one of the Republican's top targets for defeat. She is the first Democrat EVER to be elected in her district, and Republicans want her seat back. And she's just one of the courageous candidates facing a tough race. For Katie and other progressives to win, we need the voter turnout to be massive.

We were on the front lines helping to elect progressives like Katie during the blue wave of 2018. Now we need to help them STAY in office.

No Democrat in Congress has been a better champion for the people than Katie Porter.

Even though she is a first-term member of Congress from a district that had never elected a Democrat, she's emerged as one of the strongest and most effective progressive voices in the country.

Her efforts have made her the GOP's number-one target in November. She's also earned the ire of special interests, like the mega-banks her committee oversees. They'll line up against her this fall with an avalanche of misinformation in her Orange County district, where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats.

That's why Courage California is going all-out to ensure that Katie wins. With our progressive voter guide and sophisticated text-messaging program, we'll let voters know how hard Katie has been working for them and make sure they cast their ballots in the fall.

Will you chip in to help reelect Katie Porter, our tireless progressive warrior in D.C., and keep control of Congress?

Yours in the fight for our health,

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