Incumbent Democrat Mike Levin seeks fourth term against Republican Matt Gunderson in coastal congressional district
In the past three elections, the Democratic and Republican parties have poured millions of dollars into races in the 49th Congressional District. Whether that kind of largess from the parties occurs this time around remains to be seen. If it doesn't, that will be a clear sign the coastal district straddling the San Diego-Orange County line has become safer Democratic territory. It's too early to say definitively that the 49th won't be considered a swing district as it has since 2016.
In particular, Levin has pushed legislation to help veterans, many of whom live in the district, and pursued environmental protection initiatives — including efforts to relocate radioactive waste stored at the shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant. Levin also has been a strong proponent of reproductive and abortion rights.
