Today I went over to the University of California in Irvine, about 15 minutes from our home, to make posters supporting my favorite candidate for Congress, Katie Porter. Katie is smart, personable and likeable. She is a law professor at the University of California - Irvine. She has already been endorsed by Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Emily's List and Democracy for America. She also is in favor of protecting Social Security and Medicare, as well as protecting the environment ... two issues which are very important to me. The posters will be used at the Women's March next weekend, a Meet the Candidate Forum in our area this coming week, and for other political rallies. I also have placed a poster in the front window of our condo in the retirement community where I live. Can you spot me in the photo above? (Hint: I'm holding a blue sign with white lettering)

@JudyEv - Thank you! She actually has two elections she has to win. She needs to be one of the top two candidates in the June primary and, if she is, she will need to win the general election in November and beat the incumbent. It won't be easy, but she is smart and capable, and I think she can do it. Fingers crossed!

@Corbin5 - Thank you! It is never easy to beat an incumbent, but I think she had a good chance. A lot of people are unhappy with our current Representative.

@DeborahDiane I think that this is the right moment to try. People are tired of politicians who lie to them.

@LadyDuck - I agree that this seems like the right moment to try to get a better representative. I agree that people are tired of politicians who lie to them, and our current representative has voted with Trump over 98% of the time. I am very disappointed by her!

@YrNemo - I have really been impressed by her and I am looking forward to helping her as much as possible in the campaign ahead. She would do a much better job than our current representative.

Ah, then you are the person I am going to bore you with some issues, because you might be able to pass on the ideas to your leader.
