Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar, who lost to Rep. Darrell Issa in by just 8 points in 2020, said Saturday he is “seriously considering” a second campaign against the veteran Republican in 2026.
Campa-Najjar said his consideration of a rematch was based on his belief that “this is a ‘where were you?’ moment in the life of our country” and the possibility that the mid-decade redistricting proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom would make the 48th District in East County more competitive.
He said in a statement that Americans are being “crushed by unpopular policies that have raised the cost of living, slashed food assistance and healthcare for those who need it most in order to fund billionaire tax breaks.”
“That’s why l’m seriously considering running: to fight for an economy that works for working people, lower healthcare costs, and take on corruption,” he said.
Campa-Najjar twice before sought to represent the East County district, running unsuccessfully against former Rep. Duncan Hunter in 2020 and then against Issa two years later. He also ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Chula Vista in 2022.
Currently he serves as a Naval Reserve Officer and is scheduled to teach at Georgetown University in the fall.
If Campa-Najjar officially files to enter the race, he will face at least four other Democrats in the primary.
