Californiagubernatorial candidate Katie Portershocked California last year whenexplosive reactionwhen a staffer appeared in the shot during an interview went viral.
Now, with just one month until the June primary, she’s back in the news again for a similar moment — this time in a campaign ad she released referencing that outburst.
On Monday, thePorter campaign released a new adshowing her pushing a shopping cart in an attempt to relate to everyday Californians.
In the ad, she is seen claiming she has a minivan with 200,000 miles and a college-age child who is likely to end up back on her couch due to the job market, among other references.
The video ends with her standing in the middle of the frame, appealing to voters to choose her, as people stand behind her hold signs highlighting her campaign platform, including “No Racism,” “No Trump,” “No ICE,” and “Free College.”

Porter then immediately turns back and jokes, “Now could you guys please get out of my shot?”
When a reporter asked the California gubernatorial candidate why she chose to air that ad, she said it was intentional.
“I push a shopping cart and fill a minivan. You see that in the ad,”Porter said in an interview with Nexstar Media Group.
“But you also see somebody who’s taken responsibility again and again in this race and is also able to laugh at herself and show that she’s grown.”
