Marni von Wilpert is a battle-tested San Diego City Councilmember, former prosecutor, and alumna of the Peace Corps who flipped a red City Council seat blue—and she’s ready to do it again in Congress.
She is running to tackle the skyrocketing cost of living, protect reproductive freedom, and defend LGBTQ rights from extremist attacks. On the City Council, she took on corporate polluters, authored California’s first ghost gun ban, and delivered solutions to keep neighborhoods safe and affordable. Now, she’s running for Congress to take that fight to Washington.
Backed by leaders like EMILYs List, former U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, Rep. Becca Balint, Rep. Emily Randall, State Sen. Catherine Blakespear, State Sen. Steve Padilla, Assemblymember Tasha Boerner, and more, Marni is the proven fighter Democrats need to flip CA-48 and finally send Darrell Issa packing.
