In a district that had never voted a Democrat to Congress, Katie Porter was elected in 2018 with the help of TextOut.

Rep. Katie Porter

Katie Porter Wins in Historic Race as a First Time Candidate

After conducting peer-to-peer listening, persuasion, and mobilization text message campaigns with TextOut, Katie Porter, a law professor, attorney, single mother of three, and first-time candidate, was elected to Congress on November 6, 2018 by 3.4 points. Her 2018 win helped Democrats regain control of the House. 

Porter has since won reelection in 2020 and 2022. Throughout our collaboration with Porter’s campaigns, we’ve sent more than 782,000 texts to potential voters.
