California Rep. Katie Porter Announces Run For U.S. Senate In 2024
Porter, who has gained a media profile for her hard-hitting questioning of House committee witnesses, while often using a whiteboard to explain complicated topics, is seeking the seat currently occupied by Sen.. Feinstein, 89, who has served in the Senate since 1993, has not yet revealed her plans, but there has been widespread speculation that she will not run again.
“California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy,” Porter said in an announcement video she posted on Twitter.Porter served on the natural resources and oversight and reform committees in the last Congress. She chaired the natural resources subcommittee on oversight and investigations.
California has an open primary, meaning that the top two vote getters will advance to the general election. That raises the likelihood that two Democrats will face off against each other in November, 2024, as happened in the Senate races in 2018 and 2016. California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.
