U.S. Representative from California's 50th congressional district and a member of the Republican Party, Darrell Issa ran the 2020 election in the conservative 50th District anchored in eastern San Diego County. Issa's district also includes North San Diego county and as far north as most of Temecula in Riverside County. That seat became vacant when GOP Congressman Duncan Hunter resigned after pleading guilty to a corruption charge.
On November 7, 2020, Darrell Issa declared victory in his race over Democratic opponent Ammar Campa-Najjar, after being projected to defeat his Democratic opponent for California’s 50th Congressional District.
Issa won the election with 54% of the vote.<ref name="California House Election Results 2020"/>
