Races We Will Focus on This Year

Marni von Wilpert
Candidate for U.S. Congress CA 48
Marni grew up in North San Diego County in a military family. Her father immigrated to the United States and served proudly in the Army, and her grandfather fought in WWII. Marni’s parents instilled in her a commitment to service, which has taken her around the world — from serving in the Peace Corps in Botswana during the AIDS epidemic, to founding a legal clinic to combat discrimination in the Deep South, to later serving in Congress as counsel on the House Education and Labor Committee, where she helped write the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to strengthen workers’ rights.
Now, Marni is running for Congress to tackle the skyrocketing cost of living, stop ICE's lawless attacks on our communities, protect reproductive freedom, defend LGBTQ rights, and make Washington work for working families — not just the wealthy few. With a proven record of service, results, and winning tough races, Marni is the battle-tested fighter needed to flip CA-48 and take back Congress.
