Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) announced a run for California governor after failing to win the Democratic Party’s nomination for one of California’s seats in the U.S. Senate.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom will be term-limited out of office in 2026, and Democrats are anxiously watching to see who will take the mantle for the populous left-leaning state. Porter has not yet won a statewide election but has made a name for herself during her time as a U.S. representative.
‘As governor, I won’t ever back down when Trump hurts Californians.’
“What California needs now is a little bit of hope and a whole lot of grit. That’s why I’m running for Governor,” wrote Porter in a message on social media.
