"Pro-Israel Super PAC Shakes Up Democratic Battle for Katie Porter's Seat in CA 47th District"
TL;DR
A pro-Israel super PAC, United Democracy Project, has invested nearly $50,000 in mail pieces opposing Democratic state Sen. Dave Min and plans to spend around $500,000 in broadcast and cable airtime in the toss-up Orange County House race to succeed Rep. Katie Porter. The race has intensified with negative attack ads, including criticism of Min's drunk driving arrest. The intervention by the pro-Israel group was unexpected, and it's attributed to Min's private conversations with the group's members and leadership. Meanwhile, Min's rival, Joanna Weiss, has received support from Pro-Israel America PAC, while Min has endorsements from the California Legislative Jewish Caucus.
