Congressman Mike Levin wants to fight 'bleak and dark picture' of democracy

The final dash to Election Day ramps up this week. As part of our ongoing conversations with San Diego’s congressional delegation about democracy, KPBS spoke with Democratic Congressman Mike Levin.

He said Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz are the right ticket for America’s current moment.

"What we have seen in terms of the numbers on the ground, the people who are excited to knock on doors, make calls, it's really reminiscent to me of 2008 and what we saw when Barack Obama was running," he said. "And if we can just continue with that excitement, with that enthusiasm over these next nine or 10 weeks, I think we're going to be in very good shape."

KPBS is extending interview invitations to all the local congressional delegates and hopes to present their takes on the election soon.
