Campa-Najjar leads in early vote count for 50th District; Issa and DeMaio are neck-and-neck

[Zorro]

Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar claimed an sizable lead in the race for the 50th Congressional District Tuesday night, while his top two Republican opponents, Darrell Issa and Carl DeMaio, appeared neck-and-neck.

The race was too early to call early Wednesday morning, with only 62 percent of precincts reporting as of 1:20 a.m. and many mail ballots and provisional ballots still outstanding.

Campa-Najjar led the way in the early tally of votes, garnering 34.4 percent of the vote. He was followed by Issa (24.7 percent) and DeMaio (21.1 percent).

Republican State Sen. Brian Jones appeared a distant fourth in early Wednesday morning, with 10.9 percent of the vote.

As despicable as Issa is, DeMaio is even more despicable with his outrageously bogus ads attacking Issa for supporting $1B in payments to the DoD for transgender operations.

2. good....

looks like we might lose a couple seats we picked up in 2018, so this would be a nice win in Nov.

3. Issa is back?

I don’t suppose he’s worse than any other Republican

4. He's a carpetbagger

He changed his primary residence address to his mother's because she lives in the district. His main home is in the district next door.

5. Sadly, if you add up the percentages for the republicans,

the Democrat doesn't stand much of a chance in the general. Not a surprise in this district. Imagine what it must be like to live there.
