I’m looking forward to seeing you!

Hi everyone, It’s Katie Porter. If you know me, you know I’m not afraid to stand up to corporate CEOs and wealthy billionaires. Neither is my friend Josh Harder. That’s why I’m excited to be teaming up with Josh to host a grassroots fundraiser in support of both of our campaigns. I…

$9 on the 9th for the 9th district

Hey John, We’ll cut right to the chase—it’s September 9th and there are less than 9 weeks left until the election. Polls show Josh tied against an extreme MAGA Republican and we really need your help to fight back by keeping our organizing program funded through the election. So, c…

Help us hire a Voter Protection Director!

Hey John, I can’t believe I’m even saying this, but we’re exactly one month away from ballots going out in California. In a mail-in ballot state like this, that means our election is really only 4 weeks away. Given the new poll showing us tied, Josh has made another important inves…

My thoughts on Sarah Palin losing (yes, a bit late)

Hi John, We all saw the huge win for democrats last week in Alaska: Sarah Palin lost to Democrat Mary Peltola. What a win! So what does this mean for the midterms? First off, it shows that when democrats run strong candidates who campaign on local issues we can win anywhere. It als…

a champion for women vs. an anti-choice extremist

John, Josh is endorsed by Planned Parenthood because he’s a proven champion for women’s reproductive choice - meanwhile, his opponent Tom Patti would vote to criminalize abortion across the country and put doctors in jail for providing these procedures. The choice in this election …

John, In response to the millions of dollars of attack ads the GOP is launching against Josh, I want to give you an in-depth explainer on how we’re fighting back with our TV ads. By the time you’re done with this email, I hope you’ll chip in $25 to help us keep our ads on the air! …

John, I’m about to make a big decision that’s going to affect the rest of this campaign. I wanted to keep you in the loop, and ask you to please send in a donation today to help us execute our plan. Here is the link. As I told you earlier this week, we’re facing $2.1 million in GOP attack ads and…

Hey friends, I’m sorry to email you again but when a GOP Super PAC announces $2.1 million in advertising spending against our campaign, we have to act fast. Tonight is our end-of-month deadline and we’re about to make a critical decision about how much we can put behind our own ads for the fall. …

John, As the Finance Director of this campaign, it’s my job to be honest with you: A GOP Super PAC just put down $2.1 million in our media market and we don’t have the resources right now to combat that without your help. Can you please rush in the biggest donation you can possibl…

John, I have terrible news, and I want you to hear this from me: The Congressional Leadership Fund, one of the GOP’s largest Super PACs, just laid down $2.1 million in TV advertising to attack me this fall. We’ve been preparing for this moment, and our worst fears have now come al…

Liz Cheney

John, It’s been a few weeks since we saw the Republican base vote Liz Cheney out of office. And it’s really been weighing on me. If this is what the Republican party thinks is patriotic, what does a future look like with them controlling Congress? With Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Gre…

Here’s why Adam Schiff came to Stockton to campaign with me

the most frightening stat from our poll

John, As you know, there is a brand new poll showing Josh tied with his MAGA opponent Tom Patti. Now, we’re getting additional details: Based on the poll, 1/5th of all voters in our district are still undecided. That’s tens of thousands of voters who could easily swing to Republic…

my thoughts on Liz Cheney and Sarah Palin

John, Last night’s primaries in Wyoming and Alaska offer us a glimpse of where the Republican party is headed. Unfortunately, they continue to move more and more extreme. As you may have seen, Liz Cheney lost her primary because she dared to speak the truth to Trump. I don’t agree …

my thoughts on our tied poll

Republican hypocrisy
