Flip the 49th
Flip the 49th Neighbors in Action was set up to elect a Democrat in California's 49th District.
- The closest Congressional race in the Country is in our backyard. In 2016, the Republican won by just 1,621 votes. In order to stop the corrupt and chaotic agenda of the Trump Administration, the Democratic Party must win control of Congress. The path to winning back the House runs straight through our home in California's 49th Congressional District.[1]
