Teamsters Endorse Katie Porter for California Governor in 2025

Teamsters California Endorses Katie Porter for Governor

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) - Teamsters California, the collective voice for 250,000 workers across multiple industries, has thrown its support behind Katie Porter in the upcoming gubernatorial race. The organization lauds Porter for her commitment to workers' rights and her resolve to tackle California's pressing affordability issues.

Peter Finn and Chris Griswold, Co-Chairs of Teamsters California, emphasized the importance of having leadership that prioritizes the needs of working people over corporate interests. They stated, "Teamsters across our state are ready for a governor who stands with working people. Katie Porter will address the affordability crisis, preserve good jobs in our communities, and fight back against Big Tech’s assault on workers’ livelihoods."

Highlighting Porter's congressional track record, Finn and Griswold noted her efforts to challenge corporate greed and advocate for the workforce. "We need a government that works for everyone—not just big corporations and their billionaire owners. Porter has a proven record of putting workers first. During her time in Congress, she has fought alongside our members and taken on greedy CEOs who want to destroy jobs in the name of corporate profits," they added.

The endorsement signals a mobilization effort by Teamsters California to support Porter's campaign. They have expressed a readiness to engage in extensive organization and outreach to ensure her victory in the governor's race. "Teamsters are ready to mobilize, organize, and do whatever it takes to ensure Katie Porter is our next governor," affirmed the Co-Chairs.
