Opinion: We must flip the 48th District, and Marni von Wilpert can do it
I know what it takes to lead and win tough elections. I spent forty years in elected office serving California through some of the most tumultuous times in our country’s history. I thought I saw it all, but it pales in comparison to the recklessness of Donald Trump’s second presidency and a Republican-led Congress bowing down to his every whim.
Donald Trump has dragged us into another “forever war” without a vote in Congress. Armed and masked ICE agents are inciting danger and terror in our streets. And Republicans are trying to disenfranchise tens of millions of eligible voters, treating the Constitution like a suggestion, instead of the very foundation our country is built on.
I’m not exaggerating when I say flipping the U.S. House of Representatives is essential to protecting the America we know and love. That effort starts here in Southern California, where we have one of the most competitive Congressional races in the country.
We must flip the 48th District.
