He is a former congressman, veteran, and highly successful businessman that wants to continue serving the citizens of San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issa originally served in the 48th and 49th congressional districts for 18 total years, but chose not to run for re-election in 2018 as he was positioned to take a position in the Trump Administration. After that process stalled, Issa focused his efforts on securing the 50th Congressional District and returning conservative values to San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar is a radical leftist who worked for the Obama Administration and has shown support for such policies as Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal. He has since denounced those policies, but like Rep. Mike Levin over in the 49th District, Campa-Najjar is merely pretending to be a moderate in order to get elected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issa has shown himself to be an excellent congressman through decades of service. If elected, he will honorably represent San Diego and the nation as a whole. He will continue to support the president in his efforts to build the wall, secure our border, rebuild our economy, and fight for American workers. Issa&#8217;s dedication on all of these fronts is why President Trump proudly endorsed him earlier this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Darrell always has had my full support and complete and total Endorsement.
