Distrito 49 — Cámara de Representantes del los Estados Unidos

UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
49th District

DARRELL ISSA
US Representative/Entrepreneur

Working to create jobs and grow the American economy is my passion.

As the founder of a consumer technology company that employs hundreds of people today, an entrepreneur, innovator, and former Army officer, I’ve put those skills to work for you in Congress to foster job creation, to protect the incredible creative space that exists on the Internet, and to promote and realize opportunities that are available in the new economy.

As your representative, I stopped the most harmful Internet regulatory scheme ever considered in Congress, SOPA. I worked collaboratively to protect your private information online and to foster job-creating startups.

I stood up to Wall Street, opposing the bailout of the big banks, and called to account Presidents from both parties when they abused their offices. I authored the DATA Act to make information on how government spends our money more accessible, fought to strengthen the Violence Against Women Act, and to provide extended family and medical leave to those caring for a wounded and recovering service member.

In the 49th District, we stood up new housing and facilities for our Marines at Camp Pendleton, negotiated settlements to increase the supply and quality of water available to our communities, and worked with local leaders to find long-term storage solution to the nuclear waste at San Onofre.

It is the honor of my life to serve you in Congress and I appreciate your vote. For more information, please visit my website www.DarrellIssa.com or call my office at (760) 598-3535.

DOUG APPLEGATE
AGE: 62
Retired Marine Colonel

As a distinguished Marine Colonel and experienced civilian trial attorney, I built a record of leadership and public service, fighting for America and defending Americans.

I joined the Marine officer program over 40 years ago. I served as an infantry officer and a Judge Advocate. In my long career, my duties spanned defending and prosecuting war crimes, advising Marine Commanders, and a combat tour in Ramadi, Baghdad, and Fallujah, eventually retiring in 2006 after 32 years active and reserve.

When it comes to our national defense, I have the know-how to ask the right questions and focus on the key issues: fixing our VA, eliminating waste, and protecting our service members by putting them in harms way only when absolutely necessary.

I have lived in the 49th District since I was stationed at Camp Pendleton in 1981. All three of my children grew up here and attended our public schools. I own a business here and know what matters to this community. I will fight to bring back American jobs that provide living wages and equal pay for equal work, and demand comprehensive immigration reform that makes American employers part of the solution.

America needs new, positive leadership committed to integrity, accountability, and transparency in Congress, ending big money’s influence on government.

For me, true patriotism is about serving our country however we can. Our duty is to keep America strong and keep it working for all Americans. I ask for and would be honored to have your vote.
