DNC Congratulates Marni von Wilpert on Advancing to the General Election for California’s 48th Congressional District Arrow

The DNC congratulates Marni von Wilpert on advancing to the general election for California's 48th Congressional District - a race that will help flip the House of Representatives in November. Democratic voters throughout California have once again turned out in numbers that demonstrate they understand the stakes of this moment. This seat is currently represented by Darrell Issa, who is fleeing Congress after the writing on the wall became impossible to ignore.

In response to Marni von Wilpert advancing to the general election, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

"As a member of the San Diego City Council, a former Deputy City Attorney, and a native of Southern California, Marni von Wilpert has continually served her community. Marni traveled to every part of the district and made it clear that she would fight to lower costs, expand healthcare, protect LGBTQ+ rights, and put working families first. The DNC is ready to help her flip this seat from red to blue, take back the House, and deliver for communities across California."
