The voters of California’s 50th Congressional District stamped former California Rep. Darrell Issa’s return ticket to Capitol Hill after he defeated Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar.

The Associated Press and others made the projection on Saturday evening with Issa getting 53.7% with 168,220 votes and his opponent getting 46.3% with 144,975 votes.

Issa previously declared victory in a statement posted to social media Friday night saying:

“Whether you supported me in this election or not, I will work tirelessly in Congress for all who call the 50th District their home, for The State of California which I love so much, and for our great country,” Issa wrote. He thanked Campa-Najjar “for a spirited campaign."

On Saturday, Campa-Najjar told the Associated Press he still believed he could pull out a win.

“There’s always a chance. There are still outstanding votes to be counted,” said Campa-Najjar, a 31-year-old former Obama administration official. He added: “I’ll respect the final outcome. We just don’t have the final outcome yet.”

Issa, 67, previously served in the House representing the state’s 49th Congressional District (after the 48th District was renumbered in 2003) from 2001 to 2019. His previous district encompassed the counties of Orange and San Diego. Issa announced in early 2018 he was not seeking reelection.

Must be nice, occasionally being represented by someone whose views aren't almost diametrically opposite to one's own. I had a "choice" between two Ds so awful that there was no "lesser of two evils".

As if I needed another reason to turn off Fox, Issa was a fixture when he was a congress critter, talked a lot, but said nothing of value.

I wasn't as concerned that he said nothing of value, I was more concerned his rhetoric didn't align with his actions, which were abysmal.  Hopefully he does better this time.  If he spends a lot of time on FNC, I won't be seeing it anyway since I gave them the boot from my TeeVee.
