When voters open their ballots next week, they'll see Katie Porter's name twice. Once for the normally scheduled Senate election, and again in a "special election" which will appoint someone to serve out a short remainder of the late Senator Feinstein's term. Technically there are two elections, and that means contribution limits doubled. This puts our grassroots powered campaign at a real disadvantage.
| Our opponent has collected more than $1.2 million in money that is attributed to the "special election." This is money from donors who had already given the maximum $6,600 that is normally allowed, but these folks were able to give thousands of dollars again and attribute it to the "special election." |
That's about 10x the money we have attributed to the "special election," because when we say this campaign is people-powered, we mean it. Katie is the only candidate in this race who has never taken a dime from corporate PACs. She's the only person in this race to reject federal lobbyist money. And she's the only person to refuse money from Big Oil, Big Bank, and Big Pharma CEOs.
Just because we're being outraised, doesn't mean we're giving up. Polls still show that it's possible for Katie to win this, but we really need your help. Our average donation this year is $26.85. Can you match that or donate whatever makes sense for you today?
Thanks so much for reading,
Team Porter
