Matt Gunderson hopes to upset Mike Levin’s effort to win third term
From left to right, Rep. Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano, is running against Republican Matt Gunderson in the 49th congressional district. Congressional District 49 incumbent Rep. Mike Levin faces a new challenger this November, Orange County car dealership owner Matt Gunderson.
Gunderson lost a state Senate seat in 2022 by a slim 4.4 percent to Catherine Blakespear, D-Encinitas, in another district that shares parts of San Diego and Orange counties. He said the top issues in the 49th District this year are controlling the border, reducing inflation and more support for law enforcement.
Reproductive rights have become a big issue across the nation, with strong divisions among many red and blue candidates. Levin has said he believes strongly in abortion rights and that women should be free to control their own health care. Together, the two candidates have spent more than $3.5 million from Jan. 1, 2023, through June 30 on the 2024 campaign, according to the most recent online information posted by the Federal Election Commission. Levin has reported spending about $2 million, while Gunderson has spent $1.5 million.
