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

I was surprised Porter barely won last time, so it's worrying that someone not the incumbent is running against the same guy who lost by so little. I hope there is a big effort being made to get UCI students from other districts with less competitive races to change their registration. My daughter was an undergrad at UCI during the midterms, and since we live in SF, it would have made more sense for her to vote in your district, but she/we didn't realize the race was so close. (I just looked at the results from 2022, and I guess it didn't end up being quite as close as I thought, but still concerning.)

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