Katie Porter's pitch for Elizabeth Warren is rooted not just in who Porter is, a Democratic congresswoman from Orange County, but who she was: a daughter of rural Iowa who made it to Harvard and a front row seat in Warren's law class nearly 20 years ago.

Since then, she’s made three trips to Iowa, with a fourth planned for the Feb. 3 caucuses. She acts as a warm-up emcee at Warren rallies. She cheerleads volunteers set to knock on doors in the bitter wind, doling out custom-made nail polish in the campaign’s “liberty green” and revealing that Warren likes to paint her toes wacky colors.

Those who don’t know Porter personally often know of her, familiar with the now-viral congressional hearing interrogations of JP Morgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon and Housing Secretary Ben Carson. She has emerged as one of the higher-profile members of the freshman class of House Democrats, a group that has been unusually coveted as surrogates this cycle.

Rep. Katie Porter of Irvine speaks with voter Matthew Neppel in January at a campaign gathering in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “I just offer you proof that you can win on the policies that you believe in, and that are authentic to you and your experience and that speak to your community, anywhere in the country,” she said in Iowa City.

“It could be a bigger problem for her maybe down the road, when Donald Trump isn’t on the ballot,” he said.

Iowa caucus app sparks election security concernsWith less than 2 weeks until Iowans line up to cast the first votes to pick a Democratic presidential nominee, party officials are reassuring voters that a new app used to report its caucus votes is secure. It’s not clear if they are correct. 'voting' and 'app' should not be in the same sentence. Our elections are not secure. There is not a positive spin to put on this. Putin is winning. Why App? This is pure nonsense.
