Rep. Katie Porter Puts Full Support Behind U.S. Senate Nominee Charles Booker

LOUISVILLE, Ky. –– Charles Booker, U.S. Senate nominee and former State Representative, is honored to receive yet another endorsement from a prominent, well-respected member in Congress, Rep. Katie Porter (CA-45).

“Charles Booker's bold vision and tireless work to advance Kentucky and our nation is everything Congress needs and the American people deserve,” Rep. Porter said. “That is why I'm proud to put my support behind him as he takes on special interest groups to defeat a Senator who has only used his position to his own benefit while neglecting his constituents.”

In this high-profile race for Senate, national leaders are showing an outpouring of support for Booker, who faces Rand Paul in November. Throughout his career, Booker has demonstrated that he possesses the leadership, expertise, and compassion needed to unite the Commonwealth from the hood to the holler and win a Kentucky New Deal. Booker for Kentucky is a grassroots campaign for and by the people of Kentucky; no corporations or big PACs.

“As one of the leading voices for consumer protection in Congress, Rep. Porter’s endorsement is a true testament to our campaign’s fight for families across our Commonwealth,” Booker said. “Kentuckians are being squeezed by rising prices and corporate greed ––– the result of decades of failed leadership by our representatives in Washington. I am proud to receive Rep. Porter’s support.”

To date, Booker has received a plethora of endorsements, including being endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sec. Julian Castro, Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Ed Markey, as well as Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Rep. Mondaire Jones, Rep. Ro Khanna, and a broad coalition of labor unions, including National Education Association and more.
