Rep. Katie Porter announces bid for Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat

LA Times  

Rep. Katie Porter of Orange County announces she’ll run for the Senate seat held by Dianne Feinstein, who at 89 is not expected to seek reelection in 2024. “There’s always an advantage in being early, as long as you’re not seen as inappropriately speculating on someone’s retirement,” said Rose Kapolczynski, who managed former California Sen. Barbara Boxer’s campaigns. It’ll be fabulous.” More than four decades ago, Feinstein became mayor of San Francisco after former county Supervisor Dan White killed Supervisor Harvey Milk, one of the nation’s first openly gay elected officials, and Mayor George Moscone. A person close to Schiff told The Times on Tuesday that his priority is to help respond to the extreme weather lashing the state — “not running for Senate in the middle of a natural disaster where people are dead.” Porter countered that the storms in California illustrate the dire risks facing the nation from climate change and elected officials beholden to the oil industry and corporate PAC money.
