Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is planning to seek reelection in his California district instead of moving to Texas for a less competitive House run, the 72-year-old congressman confirmed on Thursday.

Issa previously considered running in a Dallas-area district in 2026 after he was dealt a massive blow by California voters’ approval of Proposition 50, a ballot measure designed to boost the number of blue seats in the Golden State. The effort was led by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), who made it his mission to counteract the Republican Party’s nationwide redistricting agenda.
