“I’m going to stay in Congress, but I don’t need to go to Texas for that.”

California U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, ending days of speculation that he might leave San Diego County to run for Congress in Texas. After meeting with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Issa said he will seek re-election in California despite new district maps that favor Democrats following Proposition 50. Issa, the longest-serving member of the county’s congressional delegation, acknowledged that his chances in the redrawn district had been called “nearly impossible” by colleagues but insisted he’s “not quitting on California.” (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
