Katie Porter enters race to succeed California Gov. Gavin Newsom
Porter, who is running her second statewide race in as many years, enters the field with a number of advantages.

Katie Porter, the ex-Orange County representative who rode an anti-Trump wave to her first elected office, is betting a fresh “resistance” fervor can propel her to a new and bigger job: California’s next governor.

Promising “a little bit of hope and a whole lot of grit,” Porter launched her gubernatorial bid — her second statewide campaign in as many years — on Tuesday. Her kick-off video touches on the anti-corruption, consumer protection themes that transformed Porter into a whiteboard-wielding political celebrity. But the animating cause underpinning her run is, unmistakably, President Donald Trump. ...

Porter enters a field that is stacked with contenders but light on action. The freeze comes down to one factor: former Vice President Kamala Harris, who is weighing a run and could easily bigfoot her fellow California Democrats with her name ID and fundraising prowess. Several Democratic hopefuls, including Porter, have signaled publicly or privately they would stand aside if Harris joins the race. ...

Her personal life has also faced public scrutiny. After a whisper campaign about the end of her marriage with ex-husband Matthew Hoffman threatened to derail her 2018 House bid, she proactively released her divorce filings. The contents from those filings, including one accusation in a restraining order sought by her ex that she dumped a bowl of boiling potatoes on his head, got renewed media coverage during her Senate race. Porter said her ex-husband filed the order as retaliation after she filed a restraining order against him; a judge later granted Porter a protective order and custody of their three children.

Last year, Porter filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Julian Willis, alleging “persistent abuse and harassment.”  ...

If Porter is a maniac, then she fits into the California fabric well.  If elected, she will take California to new lows, and greater debt.

 Ex-Rep. Katie Porter — who once allegedly attacked hubby with mashed potatoes — enters race to succeed California Gov. Gavin Newsom
By Josh Christenson   
Published March 11, 2025, 2:27 p.m. ET

Ex-California Rep. Katie Porter — who once allegedly dumped “steaming’’ mashed potatoes on her then-hubby’s head — is now vying to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, calling herself a scrappy foe to President Trump.

The California Democrat launched her campaign in a Tuesday video posted on X that did not attack Newsom, who is term-limited from serving again, but claimed current elected leaders such as Trump were just feeding “bulls–t” to her state’s constituents about the policies driving their high cost of living.

“I first ran for office to hold Trump accountable. I feel that same call to serve now to stop him from hurting Californians,” Porter, 51, said in the footage, referencing her first congressional campaign in 2018.

“As governor, I won’t ever back down when Trump hurts Californians — whether he’s holding up disaster relief, attacking our rights or our communities or screwing over working families to benefit himself and his cronies,” she said.

Are there any sane people who would run for office here in Californication is a better question.
