Proud to have Asm. Darshana Patel’s endorsement! She’s fought for students and families from the School Board to the Assembly. Together, we’ll flip #CA48 and deliver representation that puts working families first.

Excited to share that Congressman Gil Cisneros just endorsed our campaign to flip #CA48 and take back the House! A national leader on gun violence prevention, Rep. Cisneros knows what it takes to stand up to the gun lobby, and I’m honored to have his support.

Trump's cuts to PEPFAR and refusal to recognize World AIDS Day are cruel and un-American. In the Peace Corps, I cared for children born with HIV whose parents died of AIDS, and saw how vital this funding is. In Congress, I'll fight to fund PEPFAR and protect our LGBTQ community.

Such a great day joining the pre-apprentices at the IUOE Local 12 and Boilermakers Local 92 apprentice training centers. Building an economy that puts workers first means investing in union jobs that deliver fair wages, strong benefits, and high-quality infrastructure projects for our communities.

Honored to be endorsed by Elect Democratic Women! The road to taking back the House runs through #CA48, and with their support, we’re going to flip this seat.

Happy Thanksgiving! I spent the morning delivering Thanksgiving meals to seniors at home in Escondido and San Marcos, with Mama's Kitchen, and my own mama too! I'm thankful to live in such a beautiful community with all of you!

I am devastated by the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. Violence targeting Americans serving in uniform is vile and a stain on our country. We must come together as a nation to heal, and to stop the spiral of anger and violence that is tearing at our country.

I’m grateful for a wonderful day with Democrats from San Diego and Riverside Counties at the San Diego County Democratic Party Convention! And very humbled to have earned a win in today’s straw poll — let’s go beat Darrell Issa!

Thrilled to have Oceanside Mayor Esther Sanchez’s endorsement as we grow the coalition we need to defeat ‘Mini-Trump’ Darrell Issa and flip #CA48. Esther is a champion for Oceanside, and I’m excited to work with her to move our district forward.

Proud to have the endorsement of LPAC! I’m running for Congress to protect the rights of LGBTQ community to be treated with dignity and equality. With their support we’re going to beat Darrell Issa, take back the House, and stand up for the rights of our LGBTQ+ community.

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

So excited to have Fallbrook Democrats (the largest club in CA-48!!!) on #TeamMarni! Thank you to every Democratic Club member working hard to turn Fallbrook and #CA48 blue!

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. #CA48 #palmspringspride

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 🏀.

This is the most important election ever for LGBTQ+ Americans. The SCOTUS may soon allow conversion therapy — even in states that banned it. And the GOP nominee for Virginia governor says firing someone for being gay “isn’t discrimination.” We can’t let this stand. Vote. Organize. Fight back. 🌈

Darrell Issa and House Republicans keeps cheerleading Trump’s reckless tariffs — but San Diego families are the ones who are paying the price. I’ll fight for lower prices *and* American jobs, and I’ll put a stop to these disastrous tariffs blowing up your grocery bill.

As this shutdown drags into a 4th weekend, Donald Trump and Darrell Issa continue to play politics while. families suffer. At City Hall, I balanced budgets and kept services running. No chaos, no shutdowns. In Congress, I’ll do the same: put people first.

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.

The National Guard’s mission should be to keep Americans safe, not to score political points. Sending California troops into Oregon is a dangerous escalation that distracts from the real work of building trust between communities and law enforcement. It's divisive and wrong.

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. 💪📘✏️

It’s bad enough that Darrell Issa voted *against* expelling George Santos. Now Donald Trump has sprung him for prison for his many financial crimes. The message is clear — if you’re Trump, following the law is a suggestion. If you oppose his regime, you’re sent to El Salvador.

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.

During one of the largest protests in the history of our nation, the 5 freeway is closed in both directions so Trump can fire artillery rounds into California. Yes you read that correctly.

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 ✡️

My statement on the Republican-manufactured government shutdown:

Trump and Washington Republicans are risking a shutdown & hiking health care costs for families. Enough is enough. Let’s elect a Congress that puts people first. Major deadline tonight at midnight—rush your donation: secure.actblue.com/donate/marni...

We’re hours from another GOP shutdown. As a City Councilmember, I’ve passed balanced budgets because my constituents depend on me to do it. I'll do the same in the House. Let's get more people in Congress who will put people over party. Quick donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/marni...

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

Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for young people in America. I’ve already authored California’s first ban on ghost guns, and I’ll keep fighting for strong gun safety laws in Congress to keep our families and communities safe. #CA48

Proud to be endorsed by Senate President pro Tempore Emerita Toni Atkins! 🌟 Toni has been a trailblazer for San Diego and all of California.

Jimmy Kimmel is back on air. His absence was a reminder of how Trump's FCC violated the 1st Amendment by using the power of the government to silence voices that criticized him. (1/2)

Wishing everyone a sweet and joyous Rosh Hashanah! 🍎🍯 As families gather to welcome the New Year, may this season of reflection bring peace, renewal, and hope for the year ahead. Shanah Tovah! #RoshHashanah #ShanahTovah

Happy #BiPride Day! 💜💙💖 Today, we celebrate the resilience and visibility of the bisexual community. As the first openly bi member of the San Diego City Council, I know how much this visibility matters. In Congress, I’ll keep fighting for equality. #CA48 #BiPrideDay

Big news: our campaign was featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times! 📰The LGBTQ community is leading the fight to take back the House, and I’m honored to be part of this wave of LGBTQ candidates defending democracy from Trump and Darrell Issa. #FlipCA48 #TeamMarni.

Thrilled to have the endorsement of San Diego City Councilmember Stephen Whitburn! Stephen and I serve together on the Council and co-authored the resolution making San Diego a Reproductive Freedom City. Thank you, Stephen! 🌟✊
