Rep. Darrell Issa to retire, handing Democrats another big pick-up opportunity in California
Washington (CNN) - California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa will retire at the end of his term, he announced Wednesday.
Issa, one of the wealthiest members of Congress and among the best-known due to his reputation as a conservative attack dog, is bowing out of what would have been one of the nation's most hotly contested congressional races."Throughout my service, I worked hard and never lost sight of the people our government is supposed to serve. Yet with the support of my family, I have decided that I will not seek re-election in California's 49th District," Issa said in a statement Wednesday.
People forget that the house can be just as important as the Senate, and Democrats have a real chance at taking back the house.
