Democratic Rep. Katie Porter and former GOP Assembly leader Scott Baugh were out in front, as expected, as early results were posted Tuesday night in the primary race for Orange County’s coastal 47th House District.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to continue hearing from and earning the votes of Orange County families,” read a statement from Porter, who was in Washington, D.C. to prepare for votes related to gun violence prevention as the results came in.
“Our team works hard to run a spirited campaign about my work to restore trust in government, hold greedy corporations accountable, and protect taxpayer dollars. I’m looking forward to the weeks and months ahead.”
