Marni von Wilpert

Marni von Wilpert is a San Diego City Councilmember, lifelong public servant, and former prosecutor who flipped San Diego’s most conservative city council seat blue – and she’s ready to do it again in Congress. Raised in North County San Diego and a Peace Corps alum, Marni has spent her career fighting for working families — from helping write the Protect The Right To Organize Act (PRO Act) in Congress to prosecuting price gougers, polluters, and wage theft back home. On the City Council, she authored California’s first ghost gun ban, launched affordable housing grants for teachers, raised wages, reduced emergency response times, and fought to combat the opioid crisis while protecting taxpayers and strengthening public safety. Marni is running for Congress to tackle the skyrocketing cost of living, 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 we need to flip CA-48 and finally send Darrell Issa packing.
