An embarrassment of riches if you ask me. I think I’d go for Porter, since whoever wins could likely keep the seat for as long as they want. She’s the youngest, is absurdly sharp and quick-witted, and is willing to stand up to traditional bases of power. I love watching her question witnesses in the house—we need way more of that energy in the senate. Schiff is solid and oozes integrity, but he’s a bit too moderate and neolibby for my liking. Lee is frankly too old for me to consider her for such an important seat and doesn’t seem to have the fundraising chops to afford such an expensive race. I wish our elections were fully publicly funded, but unfortunately we don’t live in a fair society.

Regardless, I’d be happy if any of them win, and that’s an awesome situation to be in.

Dropping this here, in case you care about their Gaza position. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/03/california-senate-election-democrats-israel-gaza-lee-schiff-porter

I hate Adam Schiff so much, he’s so condescending and punchable.
