Schiff is running two campaigns–one for a Republican and one for himself
Adam Schiff has spent more than $10 million *boosting* our Republican opponent. Let us explain:
In October, former baseball player Steve Garvey got into the race. Polls initially showed him in third, behind us and Adam Schiff.
Then the Schiff campaign decided to go all in for Steve Garvey. The campaign itself has spent more than $10 million to consolidate conservative support behind Garvey. Their super PAC has spent millions more, with ads from both airing on Fox News constantly.
Garvey has risen in the polls, despite not running a single TV ad of his own or taking any sort of real policy position in our debates. In polls, he's now consistently tied with Katie or slightly ahead.
This cynical play to boost a Republican into the top two may work to further Schiff's own career, but it threatens to box out qualified Democratic women (and leave CA without a woman Senator for the first time in over thirty years).
As reporters have said, "If Schiff succeeds in juicing Republican turnout for Garvey, it stands to reason that those Republicans will also vote Republican down the ballot. Garvey himself has no shot of winning, but there may well be closer races in purple House and state legislative districts, school boards, and more that could be swung by a surge in Republican turnout that Schiff is spending millions to stoke."
This is a dangerous play that has national implications. Republicans hold the House majority by just a few seats, and several flippable districts are here in California. If our state has a competitive Democrat on Democrat contest in November, it will encourage Democratic voters to tune in and show up. But a Republican on Democrat race for Senate here in California threatens to depress Democratic turnout, as folks know this is a safe blue seat.
Career politicians shouldn't get to manipulate the electorate and buy themselves a promotion.
There are just five days until the election, and we are doing everything we can to beat Republican Steve Garvey and make it into the general election, where we know Katie has a strong chance of winning. Anything you can give right now will help us defeat Republicans and send Katie Porter to the Senate.
Many thanks,
Team Porter

Our goal for February
We've explained how critical it is to hit our monthly fundraising goals — and today, the pressure is high.
After billionaire Charles Koch's super PAC launched a $1 million advertising campaign attacking Bob, we need all hands on deck to fight back. We set a goal to raise $80,000 by the end of the month and are 92% of the way there.
Since our opponent has the backing of Mitch McConnell and billionaire-funded super PACs — not to mention his own massive fortune — we cannot afford to miss a fundraising goal. Will you pitch in $5 or whatever you can right now to push us across the finish line for our end-of-month goal?
February is the shortest month of the year — we've got less time and more pressure to raise money. We only have until MIDNIGHT to catch up and stay on track to win this thing in November.
Right now we're 92% of the way to our goal, and your donation of $5 or more can make all the difference. Please, rush $5 or whatever you can to help us keep our competitive edge.

Thanks for all you do.

Good news & bad news in a newly released poll
A just released poll has good news and bad news:
Good: We've moved up one point, and our Republican opponent has moved down two.
Bad: We're still in third place, behind by three points. (Remember we just need second place to advance to the general.)
Importantly, 17% of voters are undecided. If we can convince just a small percentage of them to vote for me, I'll pull ahead and make the general election.
If I advance to the general election, there's a good chance we will win that race. That's why super PACs and the Schiff campaign are doing everything they can to prevent me from advancing, and I won't BS you: their plan might work.
Anything you can give right now will help us pull ahead and WIN this race.
Katie
