<h3>Marni von Wilpert is a San Diego City Councilmember, lifelong public servant, and former prosecutor who flipped San Diego’s most conservative council district blue — and she’s ready to do it again in Congress. </h3>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. Back home in San Diego County, Marni served as a civil prosecutor in the City Attorney’s Office, where she cracked down on price gouging during the pandemic, held polluters accountable for toxic dumping and prosecuted the opioid industry for the addiction and devastation they caused. <img src="https://run.imgix.net/56ca8f14-d5e8-4485-bc02-58a3ab363bb0/f857a807-e640-40bf-a056-e2ea3409bbf8/f857a807-e640-40bf-a056-e2ea3409bbf8.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=8&amp;con=16&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C433%2C7447%2C4871&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">On City Council, Marni authored California’s first ban on untraceable ghost guns, launched affordable housing grants for teachers, raised wages, cut ambulance 911 response times, and opposed costly water and trash rate hikes to protect working families. She earned a reputation as a go-to taxpayer watchdog, fighting to save taxpayers millions and holding city contractors accountable for services they pledged to provide.&nbsp; As chair of the Public Safety Committee, she’s also led the charge to keep communities safe – securing resources for first responders, protecting us from wildfires, advancing gun violence prevention, and expanding access to lifesaving opioid treatment. 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, invest in cutting edge innovation that allows every American to reach their financial goals with defined laws that grow public trust, 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.

<h2>Updated on March 19, 2026:</h2>Overview:Ammar Campa-Najjar is a con man. We can't trust him to represent us in Congress.

“ICE’s aggressive, abusive conduct makes us less safe. Putting ICE in our airports will make travel more chaotic, more stressful, and less secure — not better.“ICE has already shown it refuses to follow the law and respect our communities – so I’m deeply concerned about what this deployment will mean for San Diego travelers and the thousands of workers at San Diego International Airport.

Marni Von Wilpert Statement On Trump Plan to Deploy ICE At Airports

Today,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/house/california-house/house-ratings-changes-tx-23-and-ca-48-shift-democrats-direction">Cook Political Report</a>, a national non-partisan race rater, published their latest analysis of California’s 48th Congressional District, highlighting how Marni von Wilpert is seen as the “stronger general election candidate.”

Cook Political Report Highlights Marni von Wilpert “As The Stronger General Election Candidate”

“The Painters and Allied Trades are proud to stand with Marni von Wilpert in California's 48th District — a former National Labor Relations Board attorney who helped draft the PRO Act and has spent her career protecting workers’ rights to organize. Marni has always held corporations accountable when they break the law, and we know she’ll keep fighting for working people in Congress.”

“What ICE is doing across this country is fueling fear, unrest and harm – and local governments shouldn’t be helping it happen. It’s disturbing to see a local city helping enable ICE’s reckless tactics after what we’ve seen in Minnesota because our communities here could be next. Local tax dollars should not be used to teach Donald Trump’s ICE immigration agents how to open fire in our communities. Escondido needs to cancel this contract with ICE immediately.”

Marni von Wilpert Calls on Escondido to Cancel Newly Revealed City Contract With ICE

Today, the San Diego City Council voted to pass the City's Unsafe Camping Ordinance, brought forth by Mayor Todd Gloria and Councilmember Stephen Whitburn. While we have much more work to do to provide support and resources for our unsheltered population, this ordinance regulating where people can and cannot safely camp on public property is one step our City can take to improve public health and safety for all San Diegans.

Councilmember von Wilpert Statement on Passing of Unsafe Camping Ordinance

The&nbsp;San Diego City Council&nbsp;Tuesday approved an update to the city’s&nbsp;Climate Action Plan, including setting a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.

City Council  Adopts Updated, More Ambitious Climate Action Plan with Zero Emissions Goal

“Marni von Wilpert has done what too many in Washington have failed to do: take on the gun lobby and deliver real results that make our communities safer. In Congress, I’ve worked to strengthen background checks, restore the assault weapons ban, and expand red flag laws—and I know firsthand how tough those fights are. When San Diego faced a surge in ghost guns, Marni led the effort to ban them and refused to back down when the NRA sued her. That’s the type of leadership we need in Congress."

Marni von Wilpert Endorsed by Congressman Gil Cisneros, Champion for Gun Violence Prevention Reform&nbsp;
