She was elected as part of a Democratic wave in Orange County flipping the 45th district. In 2022, she was reelected in the 47th congressional district following redistricting.[3] In 2023, Porter announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate, forgoing reelection to the House of Representatives.

In the House, she was deputy chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and has received media attention for her questioning during congressional hearings.[4]
