Rep. Mike Levin watches election results with his son Jonathan, wife Chrissy, and daughter Elizabeth on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, in Del Mar. The race for the 49th Congressional District seat remained tight late Wednesday, with the candidates 2 percentage points apart in a race with national implications.
On election night, the initial tally had Levin with a strong lead, but Gunderson made fast gains as more results were released the following day. Gunderson issued a statement Wednesday that he was “encouraged by the initial election results” and will continue to watch as the returns are reported out.
“How we collectively decide to move forward will shine a light on how we want to be viewed as Americans, and I hope that we’ll proceed with dignity, respect and civility,” he said. Unofficial election results indicate the remaining four members of San Diego’s delegation all defeated their challengers. Rep. Scott Peters, a Democrat representing the 50th District, which stretches inland from Coronado and Mission Bay to north of San Marcos and out to San Pasqual, issued a statement thanking his supporters — he’s up by 25 percentage points over his Republican challenger.
