A year after losing her bid for Senate, Democratic former Rep. Katie Porter is running for governor of California.
The whiteboard-wielding law professor who rode a wave of anti-Trump resistance and flipped an Orange County district blue in 2018 is hoping to replicate her success in an already crowded race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
In her launch video released Tuesday, Porter said California needs “a little bit of hope and a whole lot of grit, fresh blood and new ideas and leaders with the backbone to fight for what’s right.”
