Levin, Mike

Mike Levin has represented California's 49th congressional district, which encompasses much of San Diego's North County and part of southern Orange County, since 2019. Before entering Congress, he built a career as an attorney specializing in energy and environmental law. He co-founded CleanTech OC to promote sustainable energy in Orange County and held leadership positions at several clean technology companies, including roles at FlexEnergy, FuelCell Energy, and Better Energy Systems. His early work earned recognition in 2011 when OC Metro named him to its 40 Under 40 list for his contributions to the cleantech sector. He also served as executive director of the Democratic Party of Orange County and joined Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign as a member of the national finance committee.

In the House, Levin serves on the Committee on Appropriations, where he focuses on energy and water development as well as military construction and veterans affairs. His legislative priorities reflect both his professional background and his district's needs. He has sponsored numerous bills addressing environmental and veterans' issues, including the DEATH BETS Act, the VALOR Act, the SUPER BUGS Act of 2026, the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act, and the Passports for Purple Hearts and Medals of Honor Act, among 49 total sponsored measures. His committee work and legislative agenda demonstrate a commitment to clean energy innovation, environmental protection, and support for military personnel and veterans.
