Very surprised that Porter race is so tight. She fights for the little guy against huge corporations more than any other politician I've seen. Keep fighting for us Katie! Thanks.

[pattiwhite]

How could she be struggling to get re elected. She is so smart. She is so dedicated to the working people. She fights hard in the house. Have people not seen here in action? WTH

[herbertrodriguez]

Katie Porter is a rock star, I hope voters come to their senses and elect a Congresswoman who really stands for real Democracy in America.

We need a whole bunch more Katie Porter's in our government positions across this country!!! She's awesome, honest, intelligent, hard working and means what she says when she says it. California is VERY lucky to have her and I hope she wins....because having her in Congress, fighting for not just her own constituents, but for all of us, we ALL win!!! (I'm in NY and if I could vote for her I would!)

Who wouldn't want Katie Porter to represent their District? I live in SC and I'd love someone like her to replace my Congressman.

I love when at a hearing one of the republican congressmen asked “who gave you the authority to know this”. She said, “I wrote the college textbook. I’ll be happy to send you a copy.”

Love it when the professor brings out her white board & dry markers.

[wendyrimmer]

She deserves to be in the senate! Brilliant woman

[asheronwindspear]

I can't understand how any rational person wouldn't vote for Katie Porter. I can only WISH that I'd have someone half as good as her as my representative. Wishing her luck from Australia.

Listening to Katie is like listening to your favorite teacher from high school you just can't wait to get to their class

[glennmorris]

She's so good at what's she doing. So effective in taking on major companies for the sake of larger society. How can it be so close?

[Lelffy]

I am so impressed with her. I can’t imagine why she is in such a tight race. She’s amazing!

[benjiebenjamin]

I wish I could vote for her, I would if I lived there. She's proven she's for the people. We need more like her across the U.S.!

[sarahbarrett]

How can it be so close for Ms Porter. She’s a legend and we’re all better off with her in her seat.

[amberandrews]

Oh dear. Katie I am praying for you. You are one of the best elected officials in my lifetime. I do hope we get to keep you!

[willwebber]

I wish we could clone Katie Porter and have her run in every state. That's what it looks like when someone is in politics for the right reasons.

[helenwoodrum]

I wished we all had a person like her representing our states. She does her homework and fights for us all. I saw her take on Bank CEOs and embarrassed the heck out of them.

[art_by_adrian]

How in the world is she not clearly winning this is absolutely disturbing she is amazing and calling out the powerful :( this is madness

[kirstis]

Love Porter. She is honest, intelligent and outspoken, not afraid of «the big guy». So important today! Hurray for Porter.

[gerardbiddle]

Every best wishes for success Kathy Porter. You deserve to win as you have wonderful communication skills and passion that put the constituents in an inspired and hopeful position about good leadership and stewardship. Thank you.

We need more like Rep Katie Porter at the helm of our government: HEART, TRUTH and RESPONSIBILITY
