LOS ANGELES — Rep. Katie Porter of California, a rising star in the Democratic Party, fended off a challenge from Republican Scott Baugh, a former state lawmaker, to secure her third term in Congress.
The Associated Press called the race Thursday, though official results will take longer. Control of the House tipped to Republicans on Wednesday; now California’s remaining congressional races will determine the size of the GOP’s majority.
“Families can count on me to continue standing up for them, speaking truth to power, and fighting corporate abuse,” Porter said Wednesday night on Twitter.
