He announced his retirement in 2018, but is now looking to represent the Golden State’s 50th congressional district. He expressed he is hoping to steer California away from socialism and communism.
“Socialist policies have infected all of our major cities like a disease and are now spreading into the rural areas of our state,” explained Issa.
Socialist policies have turned California into a ticking time bomb
I’m here to defuse it.
Radical policies are spreading into the rural areas of our state
It’s time to start fighting back & make the Golden State GOLDEN again!

The congressional candidate has taken a strong stance on border security and is adamantly pro-life. He also believes in the Constitution, with the goal of upholding the Second Amendment.
According to Issa, his opponent Ammar Campa-Najjar is a radical leftist who has been endorsed by socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Campa-Najjar is in favor of “Medicare for All,” slashing military spending and the Green New Deal. The two will face off in this year’s general election on November 3rd.
