WASHINGTON, DC – Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Marni von Wilpert for California’s 48th Congressional District.
“Marni von Wilpert is committed to making sure hard-working families have the tools and opportunities to build a good life,” said Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “As a labor attorney, Marni fought to protect employees’ rights and ensure working people can succeed. On the San Diego City Council, she’s delivered real results, authoring California’s first ban on ghost guns to keep communities safe, creating housing grants so teachers can live where they work, and ensuring seniors can afford their groceries. In Congress, Marni will bring that same determination, and Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse her campaign.”
“As a labor lawyer, civil prosecutor and City Councilmember, I’ve spent my life fighting to ensure everyone gets a fair shot and a fair shake, whether it’s enforcing workers’ rights, stopping corporate fraud or making housing and groceries more affordable. We urgently need change in Washington DC for an economy that puts working people first again and a Congress that protects the rule of law, restores Roe v. Wade, and fights for all our basic rights. I’m proud to stand with Elect Democratic Women in this fight – because defeating Darrell Issa and reining in Trump is how we’ll restore fairness for everyone and take our country back,” said Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert.
