The incumbent is Democrat Katie Porter, who was re-elected with 51.7% of the vote in 2022. She is not seeking re-election, instead choosing to run for the U.S. Senate.[1] Porter was first elected in 2018, unseating incumbent Republican Mimi Walters. She later gained national fame for her progressive politics and frequently went viral for grilling corporate executives during congressional hearings.[2]
The race is expected to be highly competitive. Both House Democrats and House Republicans have listed California's 47th district among their highest-priority districts in the 2024 election.[3][4]
