Porter has been our rep for 1 year and 2 months. I was frustrated that she opted to run for Feinstein's seat against Schiff. Feinstein had been the moderate Democrat her entire career. We all once knew that. Schiff seems like the logical successor. Then his campaign pummeled the airwaves with ads raising Garvey's profile. And that frustrated me.

On top of that Senate race is a divided race with tons of money pouring in for Porter's successor.. I see no ads for the Republican Baugh. But lots of them tearing apart the endorsed candidate Min.

It's not a good time.

And what will Porter do now? She has been a real asset in the House. Does Min seem like he has a good chance? deurbano Mar 4 #17

Porter ran in our newly drawn district 47. SleeplessinSoCal Mar 5 #18

She was a guest speaker (remotely) for my daughter's public health class at UCI, and she was very popular, deurbano Mar 5 #22

I'm not sure why she opted to run for the Senate. SleeplessinSoCal Mar 5 #23

Agreed. I'm pretty sure this a House seat we will now lose. LauraInLA Mar 5 #19
