Katie Porter uses her whiteboard to make a financial point in the House of Representatives. Photograph: C-SpanKatie Porter’s upside in running for Governor is some residual name identification from her recent unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign and her hard left image in a liberal party. Her downside is a surly reputation with congressional witnesses, staff, and ex-boyfriends. The unpleasantness and non-party attitude contributed to a weak showing in the senate race.
An additional weakness is to be running in a Democratic-dominate state with a poor reputation on taxes, regulation and cost of living. There is no reason to believe four years of Katie Porter won’t contribute to the four congressional seats the state expects to lose in 2030.
Much of the party leadership is looking for an alternative.
