Former representative Katie Porter de Irvine received the support of an outstanding group of democratic women on Monday that supports candidates who support abortion rights. The organization could provide significant funds and basic support to boost the 2026 Porter governor campaign.
“Katie Porter has spent her career holding the powerful responsible, struggling to reduce costs and face the officials of the Wall Street and Trump administration to deliver results for the working families of California,” said Jessica Mackler, president of the Emily list. “At a time when President Trump and his allies are attacking the medical attention of the Californians and making their lives more expensive, Katie is the proven leader who California needs.”
The name of the organization represents early money is like yeast, a reference to the importance of collection of early funds for candidates. It was founded four decades ago to promote democratic women who support legal abortion. The group has raised almost $ 950 million to help choose such candidates throughout the country, including the copy of the successful campaign of the Porter Congress to turn a republican district in Orange County.
“There is nothing Donald Trump Odie more than face a strong and powerful woman,” Porter said. “For decades, Emily's list has backed the winner after winner, helping to choose probotist democratic women for a public office. They were instrumental to help me turn a blue republican strength in 2018, and together I am sure we will make history again.”
However, it is not clear how much the organization will spend on Porter's commitment for being the first woman governor of California. Next year, there are multiple critical careers of the Congress that will determine the control of the camera of which the group will probably give its weight.
The 2026 governor career to replace the governor called Gavin Newsom is open after former vice president Kamala Harris decided not to run and as Senator Alex Padilla and businessman Rick Caruso Mull if they made a race.
At this time, Porter, a UC Irvine law professor who was running out of success by the United States Senate last year, has a small advantage in the surveys among the multitude of democrats who run for the position. Primary is in June.
Emily's list, which often avoids making an assent when there are multiple candidates in a race, made her decision after the former state leader of the State, Toni Atkins, announced at the end of September that she was abandoning the race. The former state controller Betty Yee is still a candidate for governor.
