Darrell Issa Mulls Run in Texas
Issa decided to seek reelection in a district reshaped by Proposition 50 despite a 4-point Democratic registration lead, maintaining his commitment to represent San Diego, officials said.
- On Thursday, Republican Rep. Darrell Issa said he will stay in California and run for reelection next year in his San Diego-area district.
- Redistricting under Proposition 50 shifted Issa's district to include Palm Springs and Indian Wells, flipping registration from a 12-point GOP edge this year to a Democratic lead, California Target Book found.
- The Texas option hinged on the Supreme Court allowing new maps, with Punchbowl News reporting Issa considered a Dallas-area Texas district if the Court upholds maps before Monday.
- House GOP leaders signaled limited financial backing for Issa despite San Diego GOP chair Paula Whitsell endorsing him and praising his leadership.
- Amid the national fight for the House, speculation over successors intensified as Jim Desmond, Brian Jones, and Carl DeMaio are named while Democrats prepare challenges.
