Congressman Mike Levin is proud to represent California's 49th Congressional District, which includes North County San Diego and South Orange County.
Currently serving his second term in the House of Representatives, Levin sits on the House Committee on Natural Resources, the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, and the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, where he serves as Vice Chair of the Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.
Levin was raised in South Orange County and attended local elementary and junior high schools. He spent his high school years at Loyola High in Los Angeles, and went on to study at Stanford University, where he served as the student body president. Upon graduation from Stanford, Levin served as a Coro Fellow and then attended Duke University School of Law.
Rep. Levin’s maternal grandparents emigrated from Mexico because they wanted to achieve the American dream and create a better life for their children and grandchildren. Our country was founded on that promise, and we must continue to live up to that principle.
Rep. Levin knows that our immigration system is broken, and believes we need comprehensive immigration reform that includes protections for Dreamers, a path to citizenship, and increased funding for smart border security technology to protect our borders while treating people with respect and dignity.
As a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), Rep. Levin helped introduce the Dream and Promise Act, to create a pathway to citizenship for eligible Dreamers and secure permanent residency for those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) status.
Rep. Levin also cosponsored legislation to reunify families who were separated at the border, and to end the previous administration’s “Muslim Ban,” which has since been revoked by the Biden Administration. He also voted for legislation to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to the border, and signed onto a bill to create more oversight and accountability within the Department of Homeland Security.
Rep. Levin has also voted to provide increased funding for smarter, more effective border security measures. Rep. Levin visits the border regularly, including the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the Otay Mesa Detention Center, and the Chula Vista Border Patrol Station, where he has seen both the flaws of our immigration system and the benefits of smart investments in border infrastructure.
