| Dear Friend, Katie Porter’s opponent has stepped up his attacks on her while also using fear and hate to stoke his base. When migrants came ashore in Laguna Beach, Republican Scott Baugh said the boats had “gang members, human traffickers, and drug runners” -- while the migrants had yet to be identified.(1) He has also released ads blaming Rep. Porter for the rising price of food and gas, an outright lie.(2) Baugh is Donald Trump 2.0, and we can’t let him defeat Rep. Porter and represent the people of California in Congress. We need to get Katie Porter’s message to every single possible voter in her district, and we’re running out of time before the election. Will you donate? Yes, I’ll donate to Courage California and help defend Katie Porter’s seat!
Rep. Porter is a progressive champion who has not only fought for abortion rights and environmental protections, but is working to stop corruption on both sides of the aisle, writing legislation to prohibit members of Congress from trading stocks while in office.(3) She also has gone toe-to-toe with corporate CEOs who other politicians are scared to take on, ensuring us free COVID-19 testing, shaming Big Pharma into lowering drug prices, and telling off Wall Street. Meanwhile, Baugh is a former leader of the Orange County Republican Party who is anti-abortion and anti-immigrant, and, as the Los Angeles Times put it, would “join the ranks of extremist GOP lawmakers working to take away Americans’ rights and freedoms and sow hatred toward immigrants.”(4) The choice is clear, and we need to make sure voters in Katie Porter’s district know what’s at stake. Courage California used detailed polling to develop the message that will resonate in Rep. Porter’s multicultural district, and now we need to fund ads and texting programs in multiple languages to get the message out. Thank you! Yours in the fight for a progressive future, Irene, along with Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, Mai, Mai, Raquel, and Scottie (and the rest of the Courage PAC team)
