Tomorrow, March 5th is Election Day—and there is a very real chance we're going to lose.
Recent polls show Republican Steve Garvey surging ahead in our top-two, open-party primary—thanks to a more than $11 million ad campaign promoting Garvey, paid for by Adam Schiff himself.
I'm fighting for survival, but with less than 15% of ballots returned, we still have time to pull ahead and win this (because polls all agree, this race will be CLOSE). Anything you can give right now will be put to immediate use reaching voters.
So in this final sprint, here's my pitch to California voters:
-
We need to shake up Washington, and unlike Adam Schiff, I'm not beholden to corporate special interests: I'm the only person in this race who has never taken corporate PAC money and supports banning it altogether. And unlike my opponents, I reject federal lobbyist money and have never traded individual stocks while in office. I'll always hold powerful industries and executives accountable—which is why a crypto-industry super PAC and a few billionaires are spending millions on ads attacking me.
-
California needs a warrior fighting for our top priorities—housing affordability and climate action:
- As a consumer protection attorney who has spent years holding Big Banks accountable for cheating homeowners, I know my Housing for All plan will benefit renters and homeowners for generations to come.
- Californians can't wait on climate action, and I've held Big Oil companies' feet to the fire ever since getting to Congress in 2019. In the Senate I'll build on my legislation that raised federal rates on polluters for the first time in a century. You can read more about these plans at katieporter.com/plans.

If I don't advance to the general election, Republican celebrity candidate Steve Garvey will, and that's bad news for Democrats down-ballot come November. Steve Garvey's candidacy is already juicing conservative turnout throughout the state. If he's on the ballot again in November, he'll prop up MAGA candidates up and down the ballot—from U.S. House races to school board seats.
I'm running to shake up the status quo and deliver results for Californians, not special interest groups. We still have time to increase our digital ads and make sure our supporters turn in their ballot. Is there anything you can give right now to help us pull ahead in this competitive race?
Just one more day!
