Darrell Issa to challenge Duncan Hunter for House seat in 2020
By Max Greenwood - 09/25/19 03:12 PM EDT
Former Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) will challenge Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) for his House seat in 2020, according to two sources familiar with his plans.
Issa is expected to announce his campaign at a press conference in El Cajon, just east of San Diego, on Thursday.
Issa previously represented California 49th District in the House, but announced last year that he would not seek reelection. Democratic Rep. Mike Levin won the election to replace Issa in November.
Issa has suggested in recent weeks, however, that he could run for Congress once again if his nomination to a top trade post in the Trump administration was not approved soon.
