Marni von Wilpert for Congress

San Diego City Councilmember 🏝 • Former Deputy City Attorney ⚖️ • Peace Corps Alumna 🌍 • Now running for Congress in #CA48 to fight for democracy 🗽🏳️‍🌈
Too many families know the fear of a breast cancer diagnosis — and the even deeper fear of losing access to lifesaving care. No one should ever have to fight cancer and fight to keep their healthcare. We need leaders who will protect and defend the care Americans rely on.

Proud to have the endorsement of former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer! She’s spent her career fighting for Californians and taking on powerful special interests. Now we’re taking on Darrell Issa and flipping #CA48 blue.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have sacrificed so much in service to our country! It was an honor to join the community today in Escondido for VetFest to celebrate and thank our veterans for protecting the freedoms we hold dear. #VeteransDay

What an incredible weekend celebrating love, equality, and community at Palm Springs Pride! Grateful to stand alongside so many who continue to fight for progress and inclusion — because everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and loved for who they are.

Our service members stationed abroad should not have to rely on food banks because Republicans in Congress refuse to fully fund the government. Yet another example of Donald Trump and Darrell Issa humiliating our country on the international stage.

Incredibly proud to be endorsed by @emilyslist.bsky.social — the largest resource for electing pro-choice Democratic women to Congress!

With EMILYs List and our grassroots army, we will flip #CA48 and take back the House Majority!

With the overwhelming passage of Prop 50, California voters sent Washington a message: Donald Trump and Texas Republicans will not drown out our voices.

But the work isn't done! Prop 50 doesn't guarantee anyone gets elected. Now we're kicking into high gear to flip #CA48!

Hark! What dread from yonder chamber creeps?
’Tis Congress, haunting dreams of sleep!
For thirty-one long nights, still no reprieve —
The House stands empty; Republicans leave.
Beware, all souls, of tricks most grim:
When duty fades, the lights grow dim.

Have a spooky & fully funded Halloween! 👻🎃

When it comes to lowering the cost of living, fighting for LGTBQ equality, and defending women’s rights… trust me, I know ball 🏀.

As the only Democrat in this race who’s flipped a seat red to blue, I know what it will take to beat Darrell Issa, and this latest poll shows that we have the strongest campaign to do it. I will keep working hard so come November, we finally flip #CA48 and take back the People’s House.

Thank you to San Diego Unified Trustee Richard Barrera for your endorsement!

Our campaign is bringing together educators, workers, and families who believe in a future where every student has the chance to thrive. That’s what this campaign—and our community—is all about. 💪📘✏️

Wishing everyone celebrating a happy and blessed #Diwali — the Festival of Lights!

May this season bring renewed hope, joy, and the reminder that light will always triumph over darkness.

Grateful to live in such a vibrant and diverse community where we all shine brighter together.

The United States is a constitutional republic, with three co-equal branches of government. But House Republicans and Darrell Issa have abdicated their duty and let Donald Trump act like a monarch.

Today, millions of people took to the streets to say we bow to #NoKings.

I’m so lucky to have great mentors and role models like @bobbyscott.house.gov supporting me in my race for #CA48. I learned so much working for him the House Committee on Education and Labor — and I’ve been meeting with organizations this week in DC so that next year, I can join him!

The San Diego International Airport will NOT play the video of Secretary Kristi Noem falsely blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.

I am proud to serve as a Member of the San Diego County Airport Authority, where we will always focus on aviation safety and uphold the law.

One accomplishment I'm most proud of as a city councilmember is passing California's first ghost gun ban. The gun lobby took us to court, but we won.

That's why I'm proud to have the endorsement of @sd4gvp.bsky.social as a gun violence prevention champion in my race for Congress. #CA48

News Alert! 🚨

Our campaign was just endorsed by Congresswoman @beccabalintvt.bsky.social, one of the co-chairs of @equality.house.gov!

As the first woman and first LGBTQ member of Congress from Vermont, Becca knows how to make history. So grateful for her support for our campaign in #CA48.

It’s been two years since the attacks of October 7th, 2023. My statement:

This weekend, I joined my neighbors to knock on doors for the
#YesOn50 campaign! We must protect fair elections and be the counterweight to Texas Republicans who are trying to rig the game.

On this Yom Kippur, we honor the values of reflection, compassion, and renewal. May the year ahead be filled with love, peace, and community. #YomKippur ✡️

When the Supreme Court gutted Roe, that turned the clock back 50 years. Now they could come after the right to marry the person you love.

In Congress I’ll fight back every day. We have a critical deadline at midnight—please chip in now: secure.actblue.com/donate/marni...

It was a joy to introduce myself to 200+ Democratic activists at Democrats of the Desert on Saturday! I had a wonderful time getting to know everyone in this highly dedicated club! From Palm Springs to San Marcos, we’re hitting the trail to meet voters in every corner of #CA48
September 30, 2025 at 12:46 AM
Proud to be endorsed by Senate President pro Tempore Emerita Toni Atkins! 🌟 Toni has been a trailblazer for San Diego and all of California.
