Darrell Issa is a senior member of the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees. Highlighted as one of the ten most effective members of Congress, Darrell Issa represents the people of California's 49th Congressional District. Issa is an Army veteran, father and successful entrepreneur. A tech industry leader, he is the founder of Directed Electronics, a company he built from humble origins into the the nation’s largest manufacturer of vehicle anti-theft devices, including the highly-successful Viper system.
The grandson of immigrants, Issa enlisted in the United States Army as a senior in high school. Through his Army service, he received an ROTC scholarship and graduated with a degree in business from Sienna Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. Upon graduation, Issa was commissioned as an Army officer, and ultimately obtained the rank of captain. He completed his active-duty military service in 1980 and turned his interests to the private sector.
His recent legislative initiatives focus on promoting innovation, creating jobs, protecting consumers, enhancing government transparency, and closing loopholes used to ship jobs overseas. His successful efforts to fight human trafficking in San Diego County led to tougher laws, stiffer penalties, and more consistent enforcement by federal prosecutors. Other congressional oversight efforts led by Issa during both Republican and Democrat administrations resulted in significant reforms to stop waste and abuse at agencies including the Minerals Management Service, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and the Internal Revenue Service. As a principled leader, he voted against the 2008 bailout of Wall Street banks during the Bush Administration and supports efforts to balance the federal budget by curbing government spending.
His other legislative accomlishments include strengthening the Violence Against Women Act, passing the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights, opening government though significant reforms to the Freedom of Information Act, advancing Sober Homes Reform, and working to hold our government leaders accountable.

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.

I chose to volunteer to serve my country, the greatest on earth. We need new, positive leadership committed to integrity, accountability and transparency in a Congress that is willing to take big-money’s influence out of our Government. I will fight to bring back American jobs that provide living wages & equal pay for equal work. I have the experience to ask the right questions to get us the Strongest National Defense, the best Veterans Administration, and to stop endless wars. I will demand comprehensive immigration reform that makes American employers part of the solution.
For me, true patriotism is not only about pledging allegiance. It is about serving our country however you can. Our duty is to keep America strong and working for all Americans. Too many people today know that simply playing by the rules and working hard is no longer enough to give the next generation the same chance to get ahead. I will fight to give all Americans who work hard an opportunity to succeed. With three children, one in college, I know our future depends on good-paying jobs, affordable college, and fighting for the middle class. By cutting through the politics and focusing on finding common sense solutions, I will connect with voters across party lines in a district that includes Camp Pendleton, and nearly 80,000 veteran households. I ask for and would be honored to have your vote. We need to make government work for all Americans.
I WILL BE A CONGRESSMAN WHO WILL REPRESENT EVERYONE IN THE 49TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

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.
