Robert Garcia Praises Katie Porter: ‘I Think She’d Be a Great Governor’

‘I got to know Katie as a freshman coming to Congress just a few years ago’

EXCERPT:

GARCIA: “Yeah. Look, I got to know Katie as a freshman coming to Congress just a few years ago. She was a real mentor on the Oversight Committee and brought a lot of us freshmen in as a mentor. And she was someone that we really all looked at, her style of taking on kind of the big corporate CEOs, folks that were taking on the little guy and the working class people. At the same time, we represent overlapping areas. And so, a lot of the areas that she represents, I represent here in Orange County and in Long Beach. And, so she‘s a — I think she‘D be a great governor. But look, we have good candidates. It‘s not just Katie Porter. When you talk about folks like former Secretary Becerra or even Tom Steyer, we‘re going to have a good group of Democrats on that stage tonight. What we need to ensure is that one of them, or two of them, make the top two. We’re certainly going to have one. It would be great to see two Democrats make it.”
