Mike Levin Honors Michael Meyers as July 2025 Constituent of the Month Michael Meyers Carlsbad, CA – Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) recognized Michael Meyers, a Carlsbad native and founder of North County San Diego’s first local goalball team for the blind and visually impaired, as his July 2025 Constituent of the Month. Michael was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease, during high school and turned his disability into a force for local advocacy. While attending a rehabilitation program in Colorado, he discovered goalball, a team sport designed specifically for visually impaired athletes. After returning home to Carlsbad, he learned there were no local teams or programs that offered the sport. Michael worked with family and friends to launch a North County San Diego Goalball team earlier this year to provide this unique sporting opportunity to members of the community. In just a few months, the team has grown to include more than 30 players and has drawn support from national leaders in adaptive sports, including Paralympic silver medalist Joseph Hamilton and former U.S. Men’s National Goalball Team head coach Matt Boyle. Rep. Levin recognized Michael for his inspiring leadership and commitment to accessibility, health, and community inclusion. See below for Rep. Levin’s statement recognizing Michael Meyers in the Congressional Record: “Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Michael Meyers as my July 2025 Constituent of the Month. “Michael represents the best in our community. He is resilient, innovative, and committed to making our district more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. Michael saw a lack of recreational opportunities for people with visual impairments in our region and took it upon himself to create a solution. The goalball team he founded in North County San Diego is now helping dozens of visually impaired residents stay active, build confidence, and connect with one another. “Michael’s work ensures that people who are blind or visually impaired have the chance to be part of a team, to challenge themselves, and to not sit on the sidelines. That spirit of inclusion and determination is exactly what makes our district special, and it is why I am honored to recognize Michael as my Constituent of the Month.” ABOUT THE CONSTITUENT OF THE MONTH PROGRAM: Rep. Levin’s Constituent of the Month program recognizes outstanding North County San Diego and South Orange County residents who have gone above and beyond to help their neighbors, give back to their community, and represent the best of our country. Rep Levin’s? June 2025 Constituent of the Month was Nani Love , a case manager and victim’s advocate at the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, and his May 2025 Constituent of the Month was Rohen Vargo , the founder of a student-run blood pressure screening clinic. ### Print Email Share Tweet Next Article Previous Article About Serving You News Contact Issues Privacy Policy Twitter Icon Facebook Icon Youtube Icon Bluesky Icon
