U.S. Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) is facing her “toughest race yet” in California’s newly drawn 47th Congressional District during this year’s midterm elections, according to ActBlue, a fundraising platform for Democratic Party candidates.

Although the district includes her hometown of Irvine in Orange County, about 70 percent of the voters are new to Porter due to redistricting. California lost one congressional seat during the reshuffling of congressional districts last year.
