Rep. Porter and her 2022 rival, Scott Baugh, have voiced sharply different views on tackling rising costs, abortion, and same-sex marriage.
Baugh said he’d vote against all those bills if he were a congressman.
Baugh expressed sympathy for red flag laws to address gun violence but not the other provisions Congress has considered, saying: “You’re not going to solve the gun violence issue in this country by taking away constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans.”“I think Orange County values things like freedom and respect for others.
On the GOP objections to counting electoral votes from Pennsylvania and Arizona, Baugh wouldn’t say how he’d have voted on Jan. 6, 2021. “I’m not going to speculate on what I would have done. Had I been able to ask those questions and get those answers, I could give you a definitive answer,” he said. “But I don’t.”Porter’s district borders three competitive Orange County-area districts, held by Democratic Rep. Mike Levin and Republican Reps. Michelle Steel and Young Kim.
He calls himself socially liberal and fiscally conservative. He feels pinched by rising prices. He favors abortion rights and tougher gun laws. But he’s not a fan of Biden — or the GOP.Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., the chair of the House Democratic campaign committee, said the Orange County races are a “choice” between “common sense Democrats” and a Trump-aligned movement “that overturned Roe v. Wade, ignores school shootings and tries to whitewash the attack on the Capitol.
