Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said he will not seek reelection in his southern California district, which had been redrawn to favor Democrats in last year’s redistricting.

On March 6, the longtime congressman announced, shortly after the candidate filing deadline passed, that he would retire at the end of his term.
