I think the plan for Senators in California is "literally stay in office till you die of old age so the Governor can appoint a centrist who is a sitting Senator so we don't have a competitive primary and accidentally have a progressive sneak in." Porter is an Orange County Democrat so I assume she's not great.

don't make your judgement just from her being from Orange County! She's like a normal California democrat. That does not mean great though

Irvine today is different from Ronald Reagan days. It has a giant university in the middle and had tech and medical jobs and stuff. Earlier it was mostly financial companies out here

Irvine is hell on earth for architectural design, ugliest big city I've ever seen. I've worked in Irvine before and yes it is most certainly to the right of LA city politically. Irvine is home to endless suburbs and business parks and the staff at UCI are most likely PMC liberals or outright conservatives.
