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 the 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]
Following the re-districting process of 2021, Petrie-Norris moved to Irvine to seek re-election in the newly drawn 73rd Assembly District.[5] She ran against incumbent Republican assembly member Steven Choi and ultimately defeated him in 2022.[6]
Petrie-Norris serves as Chair of the Utilities and Energy Committee of the State Assembly.[7]
