Katie Porter here with exciting news, I'm running to be California's next governor.
More below, but first, can you split a donation of $10 between State Democrats Committee and our campaign to become a founding donor today?
I didn't make this decision lightly. But with an emboldened Trump in the White House and MAGA loyalists doing his bidding day in and day out, California—and our country—need a leader who is ready to go toe to toe with extremists.
I first ran for office in 2018. I was a single mom of three little kids, running in a district that Republicans had held for decades. But I ran because I couldn't sit on the sidelines as I watched Trump try and destroy our country. As a consumer protection attorney, I wanted to use my experience to hold him and his administration accountable.
With the support of folks like you, I made it to Congress, where I was able to claw back billions from drug companies who ripped us off and pass laws cracking down on health care companies that wrongfully denied care.
I feel the same call to serve today as I did during Trump's first administration.
California is experiencing real challenges. We must become resilient to natural disasters and tackle climate change. We must address the high cost of housing, health care, and groceries. And we must continue to protect our LGBTQ+ community members and safeguard abortion access.
We don't have to choose between defending our values and tackling our challenges. We can work with businesses to create good paying jobs in California and hold corporations accountable. We can keep communities safe and uphold civil rights.
I'm never one for BS or sugar coating, so I'll be honest— this race won't be a walk in the park! There are already multiple candidates in the race to succeed Governor Newsom, who is term-limited, and the primary election is just over a year away.
Today is critical for our campaign. Pundits will be looking at how much we raise in the first week of our campaign, and that number sends a strong signal to super PACs who might consider spending against us if we look weak.
I'm asking you to join our movement to stand up to Trump and his cronies. I'm proud to have State Democrats Committee's support in this campaign, are you with us? Please make a split donation of $10 today. It will go a long way in our people-powered campaign.
