| New race ratings from non-partisan outlet National Journal’s House Power Rankings list Darrell Issa as one of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents in the entire country, underscoring the growing pressure he faces in CA-48.
Key quotes from National Journal:
- “Issa, one of the wealthiest members of Congress, could prove to be a casualty of redistricting, as California’s referendum changed his San Diego-area seat from solid Republican to a highly competitive contest.”
- “The redrawn seat would have gone to Harris by about 4 points, which could be more than enough to topple Issa…”
Democrats are on offense to hold Issa accountable for his 100% voting record with Donald Trump, including ripping away health care from more than 32,000 people and gutting food access for over 22,000 households in CA-48.
Issa has voted 17 times to repeal the ACA on his war path to “phase [it] out entirely,” while rubber stamping a reckless economic agenda and tariffs driving up the cost of living for the average San Diego household by nearly $2,400 per year. As the fourth richest member of Congress, Issa has shown he’s more focused on protecting his own wealth and his billionaire friends over Southern California families.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“It’s no surprise nonpartisan analysts rank Darrell Issa among the most vulnerable Republicans in the country. Voters in CA-48 have seen Issa put himself first at their expense – ripping away their health care, and raising their costs for decades. It’s time for new leadership.” |
