Katie Porter’s Senate Bid Endorsed by State Senator Catherine Blakespear

“Katie is a fearless, no-nonsense type of leader”

Blakespear 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 California State Senator Catherine Blakespear. Blakespear joins a chorus of Democrats, good government advocates, and progressive groups praising Porter as the warrior Californians need in the U.S. Senate.

“Katie is a fearless, no-nonsense type of leader,” said Blakespear. “She’s been a breath of fresh air in Congress, always putting her community first and delivering real results for families. She’s exactly who Californians need in the U.S. Senate to fight for our shared values.”

“I’m excited to have Senator Blakespear’s support,” said Porter. “California has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to decide who will be their voice in the Senate. We need to send our strongest warrior who will shake up the status quo, put real people first, and restore confidence in government.”

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. In addition to raising a stunning $4.5 million in the first quarter, Porter received the most small dollar donations of any candidate running for the U.S. Senate from California.
