WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced an Independent Expenditure investment in the CA-48 primary election in support of Marni von Wilpert. The $290,000 investment includes ads that will run on digital and streaming platforms from April 14th until April 27th.
Elect Democratic Women’s ad “Scales” highlights Marni’s background as a prosecutor and Obama administration labor attorney, and her accomplishments serving San Diego on the City Council.
“The path to taking back the House majority and stopping Trump’s dangerous agenda runs through flipping CA-48 — and Marni von Wilpert has the proven track record to do it,” said Liz Gallagher, Executive Director of Elect Democratic Women. “As a labor attorney and San Diego City Councilmember, she has fought to protect workers, keep communities safe, and ensure families have the tools they need to thrive. Elect Democratic Women is proud to continue supporting her campaign.”
Script: “Scales”
It can feel like the scales of justice are weighted against us.
Trump’s corruption, ICE’s attacks.
But we have Marni von Wilpert. Prosecutor and Obama administration labor attorney.
She’s already beaten Republicans in San Diego when it counted,
passed a local law to protect our abortion rights after Roe v. Wade was overturned,
and prosecuted the drug companies that created the opioid epidemic.
In Congress, Marni will stand up to Trump and stop ICE.
To make sure the scales tip in our favor, not theirs.
