Katie Porter, former Democratic Rep. from Orange County, has officially announced her candidacy for California governor, vowing to uphold abortion, LGBTQ+, and immigrant rights. In a campaign launch video, Porter emphasizes her unwavering commitment to serve Californians against perceived threats from Donald Trump and powerful industries like Big Oil and Big Pharma. Mentioning her previous unsuccessful Senate bid, she asserts the need for a governor willing to confront corrupt leaders. With current Gov. Gavin Newsom's term ending in 2026, Porter enters a competitive race against several well-known candidates.
I first ran for office to hold Trump accountable. I feel that same call to serve now to stop him from hurting Californians... I won't ever back down when Trump hurts Californians.
Big Oil, Big Banks, or Big Pharma... should not be allowed to screw people over.
As governor, I won't ever back down when Trump hurts Californians - whether he's holding up disaster relief, attacking our rights or our communities.
We need a governor with a willingness to take on dangerous leaders... and their corrupt enablers.
