Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., congratulated her former Harvard Law School student, Katie Porter, for being elected to Congress.
Warren made her remarks in a tweet on Thursday night. The posting came after Porter, a Democrat, was declared the winner in the California House race against GOP Rep. Mimi Walters.
“I’m proud of all of our incredible incoming Democratic House members, but I’m ESPECIALLY proud of our newest: my former student & research partner @katieportersoc!” Warren wrote. “WOO-HOO! You’re going to be an AMAZING fighter for families in CA & across the country, Congresswoman-elect Porter.”
Porter earned her law degree at Harvard when Warren had been serving as a professor at the school, HuffPost noted.
