It looks like Darrell Issa is back. Though votes are still being counted as of publication, Issa looks to have a solid second-place finish in Southern California’s Congressional District 50 on Super Tuesday. A win means Issa makes it to the general election in California’s “jungle primary.”
Issa came in second to Democrat Ammar-Campa Najjar in a field of five candidates, three Republicans and two Democrats, in California’s contested Congressional District 50, vacated by disgraced Congressman Duncan Hunter, who pleaded guilty to one count of campaign fund misuse. Hunter will be sentenced later this month.
Issa, the former congressman from California’s 49th Congressional District, announced his retirement before the 2018 election. That district was partially in Orange County and one of several that saw a sweep by Democrats in one of the last conservative bastions in the state.
Issa says he was no longer a match for the 49th district and also was asked by the Trump White House to serve as director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. The Senate never took up his nomination. Issa says he took himself out of the running for the job and jumped into the CD 50 race. Hunter’s father, the venerable former Congressman Duncan L. Hunter, endorsed Issa as did Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich, who did commercials for Issa.
