| Dear Friend, Rep. Katie Porter and her whiteboard of justice represent what good government is all about -- championing people and holding the wealthy and powerful accountable. Her race against Republican Scott Baugh is one of the clearest choices on the ballot, and we need to make sure every voter in her new district knows that. It's a no-brainer, but it's not a shoo-in. The headlines say it all: The Wall Street Journal: “California's Rep. Porter at Increasing Risk of Losing Seat”(1) The Hill: “Cook Report shifts 10 Biden-won House districts toward GOP”(2) Business Insider: “Katie Porter could lose California seat as race is rated a 'toss-up'”(3) The polls are not looking good for Rep. Porter, but we know this race is up to the voters, not the polls. That's why we needs to fund a last-minute expansion of our get-out-the-vote effort in Rep. Porter's district. Rep. Porter has defeated Scott Baugh before, and we know she can do it again -- but if we do everything in our power to help her win.
In the two years since Rep. Porter last faced Baugh -- a Trumpets who wants to ban same-sex marriage, force people to give birth, and cut Social Security -- California has undergone extensive redistricting. And now Rep. Porter is running in a district, California’s 47th, where hundreds of thousands of residents -- who include some of the wealthiest people in California -- have never seen her name on the ballot. Of course, we all hoped that we had buried Orange County’s Republican past in 2018, when Rep. Porter led progressives in taking every seat in the county. But since 2020, Trump-endorsed Republicans have already won back two of the O.C.’s seven congressional seats. We just cannot let them take Rep. Porter’s seat, too. That’s why we’re urgently writing to you today with an important question. Let's keep Rep. Porter and her whiteboard of justice working for all of us. 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)
