> Porter, who had initially polled well, lost decisively in the primary, coming in third, with just fifteen per cent of the vote. She was running against Adam Schiff, who had much broader name recognition. It also didn't help that she's overweight and "Porker" became her nasty nickname. This is a shoddy piece of reporting. Tech lobbying didn't start with Chris Lehane, Uber, Lyft, or crypto. Anytime government is capable of helping or hurting an industry, they form a lobbying group. The more money involved, the bigger the lobbying effort.

It didn't help that the Schiff campaign (backed by the CA democratic party) donated to the Garvey campaign to force her out of the primary. Seems weird to not mention this. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-03-06/california-senate-primary-schiff-help-garvey-column https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-03-06/californ...
