New Dems are proud to endorse Marni von Wilpert in CA-48! Marni is a lifelong public servant. She's flipped a conservative city council district and spent years advancing real solutions -- the ideal New Dem and best candidate to win in November. @marnivonwilpert

A client of mine commissioned a statewide poll on the 2026 CA Governor’s race. Among Democrats: Swalwell 30% | Porter 21% | Steyer 10% | 21% undecided. Rob Bonta wasn’t included - if he jumps in, expect the field to shift. 👀
