Rep. Issa’s office says ‘stay tuned’ on his future plans

WASHINGTON, D.C. - (KESQ) The office of Southern California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is reacting to a Punchbowl News report that Issa is considering dropping his re-election bid in California's 48th district to run next year in Texas.

The 48th district is being redrawn after the passage of Proposition 50 to include Palm Springs and Indian Wells in the Coachella Valley.

Most of the district is in San Diego county and registration now favors democrats.

Punchbowl News reports that Issa is now considering running in a district in the area of Dallas, Texas if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds new congressional districts in Texas that favor Republicans. 

News Channel 3 reached out to Issa's Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director who provided this statement in an e-mail:

"We don't have any news to make tonight – but stay tuned. On the record!"
