Katie Porter’s Senate Bid Endorsed by Democrats of Greater Irvine

“All Californians deserve a whip-smart, fearless leader representing them in Washington”

Democrats of Greater Irvine joins chorus of Democrats, good government advocates, and progressive groups praising Porter’s bid for Senate

CALIFORNIA—Congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Katie Porter has been endorsed by Democrats of Greater Irvine (DGI), the largest and longest-serving Democratic club in Irvine. DGI joins a chorus of Democrats, good government advocates, and progressive groups praising Porter as the warrior Californians need in the U.S. Senate.

“Katie Porter is the real deal,” said Kev Abazajian, Chair of the Democrats of Greater Irvine. “She’s laser-focused on getting results for everyday Californians, even if that means going against the DC grain and ruffling corporate feathers. All Californians deserve a whip-smart, fearless leader representing them in Washington—and there’s no tougher advocate than Katie Porter.”

“I’m honored to have the support of Democrats of Greater Irvine,” said Porter. “DGI is a grassroots powerhouse. Together, we’ve reshaped the political landscape of Orange County, a historically Republican area that’s sent Democrat after Democrat to Washington in recent years. I’m looking forward to continuing to fight alongside DGI on behalf of Orange County families—only now in the U.S. Senate.”

Porter is the best positioned candidate running to represent California in the U.S. Senate. She leads her Democratic opponents in a majority of surveys released to date of California voters likely to participate in the 2024 election, including recent polling conducted by Berkeley IGS and Los Angeles Times, the Lee campaign, and the Porter campaign. She has a commanding lead over her Democratic opponents among younger voters, voters of color, and no-party-preference voters, all of whom are expected to turn out in high numbers in 2024.
