DCCC Chair DelBene Campaigns for Marni von Wilpert in California's 48th Congressional District
DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene visited San Diego County to support Marni von Wilpert, a 'Red to Blue' candidate, in her campaign for California’s 48th Congressional District. DelBene emphasized the district's importance in the Democratic Party's goal to regain a House majority, noting that only three net seats are needed. During an interview with NBC San Diego’s Joey Safchik, DelBene highlighted von Wilpert's strong campaign and suggested that California voters are becoming disillusioned with Republican promises regarding cost reduction. She argued that voters are motivated to support candidates like von Wilpert, who focus on 'pocketbook issues.' DelBene characterized von Wilpert's opponent, Jim Desmond, as a 'rubber stamp' for President Trump, asserting that Desmond would not challenge the administration's policies on issues such as tariffs or healthcare.
