Marni von Wilpert, a San Diego city council member and former National Labor Relations Board attorney, is running for California's U.S. House seat with a focus on modernizing federal labor protections.
Von Wilpert was instrumental in developing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, legislation designed to update the National Labor Relations Act. The proposal emerged from collaborative work among labor law specialists who sought to revise outdated regulations that, in their view, disadvantage workers in organizing efforts.
As an NLRB attorney, von Wilpert worked alongside fellow legal experts to identify gaps in current labor law and draft comprehensive amendments. Her campaign centers on advancing labor protections at the federal level, positioning herself as a candidate committed to rebalancing workplace dynamics.
The legislation she helped craft represents one of the most significant efforts in recent years to expand workers' organizing rights and strengthen collective bargaining protections under federal law. Von Wilpert's candidacy reflects broader Democratic efforts to elevate labor issues in competitive House races.
