ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 47, CA — Congressman Adam Schiff has officially endorsed Christy Holstege in her bid for California's 47th Assembly District, a significant boost for her campaign amid a competitive race. Schiff, a notable figure renowned for his principled defense of democracy in Congress, will be a critical validator in the inland swing district. 

“I am honored to have Congressman Schiff’s support,” said Christy Holstege. "His endorsement is a significant affirmation of our campaign's goals to foster economic growth, expand access to healthcare, and make housing more affordable. With his backing, we're energized to address the critical issues our district faces and deliver real results for our community."

Throughout her political career, Holstege has been a staunch advocate for civil rights and effective local governance. Her legal expertise as a civil rights attorney enhances her campaign's focus on fostering economic equality and social justice, particularly in housing. As the election approaches, Schiff’s endorsement is expected to galvanize further support for Holstege, aligning her with the democratic values that have characterized Schiff’s tenure in Congress. 

The closely watched seat remains a top pickup priority for California Assembly Democrats after Holstege lost to her GOP opponent by just 85 votes in 2022, in one of the closest races in California legislative history. Incumbent Republican Assemblymember Greg Wallis currently holds one of the most endangered seats in Sacramento. The district boasts a solid 6.4% Democratic voter registration advantage, a figure that's projected to swell to an imposing 10-12% by the time November 2024 rolls around.

Christy’s campaign continues to out-raise and out-work her Republican opponent, garnering high-profile endorsements and significant local grassroots support. As the leading Democratic candidate, she has secured her place on the consent calendar to receive the official endorsement of the California Democratic Party in November. Her remarkable achievement of receiving 100% of the votes from the region's delegates underscores the overwhelming and wide-ranging local support for her candidacy.
