Catherine Ann "Cottie" Petrie-Norris (born August 7, 1975) is an American politician who is in the California State Assembly. A Democrat, she represents the 73rd Assembly District, which encompasses inland Orange County communities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Tustin. Prior to being elected, she was a small business owner and served on the Housing and Human Services Committee of Laguna Beach.[1][2]
Petrie-Norris was first elected to the State Assembly in November 2018 after defeating the previous incumbent, Republican Matthew Harper.[3] In 2020, Petrie-Norris was elected to a second term by a very narrow margin over Newport Beach Mayor Diane Dixon.[4]
After the once-a-decade redistricting, Petrie-Norris moved to Irvine to run in the new 73rd assembly. Her opponent Republican assembly member Steven Choi was very critical of her relocation to Irvine.[citation needed]
Petrie-Norris defeated Choi for reelection in the November 8, 2022, general election.[citation needed]
Petrie-Norris serves as Chair of the Utilities and Energy Committee of the State Assembly.[5]
