Rep. Katie Porter is running for U.S. Senate in 2024. The Orange County Democrat announced her campaign on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Sen. Diane Feinstein, 89, has not yet said what her plans are for 2024, although she is expected to retire.
“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 on social media.
Porter recently won reelection to the 47th District, a coastal area that includes Irvine, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and part of Huntington Beach, a tough battle against former state Assemblymember Scott Baugh, a Republican.
Porter is a former UC Irvine law professor who has become a leading Democratic voice in the House since she was first elected in 2018. In Congress, she sits on the Natural Resources and Oversight and Reform committees and she’s a member of a bevy of caucuses.
