Rep. Katie Porter running for reelection in newly drawn California district
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) said Monday she will run for reelection in a newly drawn California district next year, a decision that was made public after the state released its final maps for U.S. House districts ahead of next year's midterm races.
Porter announced her decision on Monday, according to the Orange County Register. Her new district does not include her current House seat, but does encompass her hometown of Irvine.
The district leans Democrat by one point, according to the Orange County Register.
Porter may now be forced to face off against Republican Rep. Michelle Steele (Calif.), who is based in Seal Beach, according to the Register. It's also possible that Steel runs for reelection in a new House district that encompasses Little Saigon and areas of north Orange County.
