A Republican small business owner is challenging Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for his House seat, saying California needs an “America First Republican” to work alongside former President Donald Trump.

David Giglio, who runs a business buying and selling sports cards and memorabilia in Clovis, California, filed the necessary paper to run in California’s 20th Congressional District with the Federal Election Commission on Oct. 29. This is not Mr. Giglio’s first run for political office; in 2022, he failed to advance to the general election in California’s 13th District, after finishing fourth in the nonpartisan primary.
