Competitiveness

2018 midterm elections

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2018 § District 45

Incumbent Walters competed against a field of four Democrats and an independent candidate in the primary election for the 2018 midterm elections. On February 25, 2018, UC Irvine (UCI) assistant law professor Dave Min received the endorsement of the California Democratic Party.[3]

Min, former White House senior technology advisor Brian Forde,[4] former legislative assistant to Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Kia Hamadanchy,[5] UCI law professor Katie Porter,[6] and UCI business professor John Graham ran in the "top two" primary in June 2018. Walters and Porter placed first and second and advanced to the general election in November.

On November 14, 2018, 8 days after polls closed, Dave Wasserman, then the House Editor for The Cook Political Report, projected that Porter had won the general election.[7]
