Tom Steyer’s staggering $193 million:
There’s been a major development in our race.
My billionaire opponent, Tom Steyer, poured another $13.5 million into his campaign, bringing his total self-funding up to a staggering $193 million.
We knew more spending was coming, but we weren’t expecting anything close to this.
If we don’t have the resources to respond, Steyer could completely drown us out across California in these final weeks.
I’ll be honest: this level of spending could change the trajectory of this race.
Instead of winning support with good ideas, he’s trying to buy this election outright.
I don’t think billionaires should be able to use their wealth to gain political power and influence our democracy, and I’m not backing down now.
I’ve spent my career standing up to people like Tom Steyer trying to cheat the system. But this is one of the biggest fights we’ve faced yet, and I can’t do it alone.
Thank you,
Katie
California deserves better
In just 15 days, Californians will decide what kind of future we’re fighting for.
A future where working people finally have someone in their corner—or more of the same broken politics that make life harder for everyone except corporations, billionaires, and the well-connected.
We’ve got 15 days to reach undecided voters with Katie’s message and make sure she surges to the top two before the polls close.
Katie’s fighting to make California more affordable for the people who actually keep this state running—the teachers, nurses, students, workers, and families getting squeezed by sky-high rent, grocery bills, and health care costs.
And together, we have a chance to elect Katie as California’s first woman governor.
That’s why her opponents are spending millions to stop her. One is bankrolled by special interests. Another has already dumped more than $193 million of his own money into the race trying to buy this election.
They have the money. But we have the people.
Her opponents are running to protect the status quo because it works for them. Katie’s running to change it so it works for you.
Our campaign is powered by grassroots supporters who believe California deserves a governor who will actually fight for them—not for CEOs, Big Oil, or wealthy donors.
Ballots are already being cast, and what we do right now will determine whether we have the resources to reach undecided voters in these final days.
Thank you,
Team Katie Porter
