加利福尼亚州共和党众议员达雷尔·伊萨周五向福克斯新闻证实，他将在本届任期结束后退休，并支持圣地亚哥县监事吉姆·德斯蒙德接替他的职位。
伊萨的席位位于加利福尼亚州新重划的第48选区，根据该州第50号提案，该选区已被重新划分以有利于民主党。
伊萨告诉福克斯新闻：“今天我满怀热情地宣布支持吉姆·德斯蒙德监事竞选国会席位——代表加利福尼亚州新的第48选区。吉姆不仅是我的私交好友，更是一位真正的爱国者、海军退伍军人、成功的商人，拥有20年的公共服务记录。他熟悉并生于斯长于斯，将成为一名出色的国会议员。”
伊萨表示，在国会任职25年、商界再奋斗25年后，这一决定并不容易。
“首先，我们建立了正确的竞选基础设施，获得了压倒性的支持——包括特朗普总统的支持——我们的民调结果明确无误：我们本可以赢得这场竞选，”他说，“但在国会任职四分之一个世纪之后——在此之前，我还在商界打拼了四分之一个世纪——现在是开启新篇章、迎接新挑战的正确时机。”
伊萨指出，他最近的一项努力是为退役海军上尉罗伊斯·威廉姆斯争取国会荣誉勋章，并将这一成就归功于特朗普总统。
“十年来，我和我的团队一直在为罗伊斯不懈努力，我们以他的名义被拒绝的次数多得我都记不清了，”他说，“但今年一切都变了。特朗普总统让罗伊斯获得了勋章，当我亲眼目睹第一夫人将荣誉勋章佩戴在我的英雄身上时，这不仅仅是完成了一项工作，更像是职业生涯的巅峰成就。”

伊萨表示，他将继续专注于完成2026年的任期。
“2026年，无论是在华盛顿还是我深爱的第48选区，都还有很多工作要做——只要还有一天任期，我就会把每一天都奉献给我所服务的人民，以及我作为陆军士兵和众议院自豪感恩的一员所宣誓保护的不可或缺的国家，”他说。
在接受福克斯新闻电话采访时，伊萨还批评国会“自我削弱”，指出议员薪酬停滞不前以及外部资金在选举中影响力不断扩大。
“不幸的是，他们确实让外部资金在选举中超过了内部资金，”他说，“……而且现在更多人靠社交媒体的喧嚣而不是实质性内容来决定立场，所以我希望这种趋势会有所逆转。要知道，只有国会才能做出改变。”

美国共和党全国委员会（NRCC）对伊萨的任期表示赞赏。
NRCC发言人克里斯蒂安·马丁内斯告诉福克斯新闻：“我们感谢达雷尔·伊萨议员数十年来为加州人民和我们国家所做的忠诚服务。在他的职业生涯中，他体现了公共服务的精神，支持我们的军队，并为建设一个更强大的美国而不懈奋斗。”
“我们有信心，这个选区将继续由一位坚持常识、拒绝进步派玛尼·冯·威尔佩特和社会主义者阿玛尔·坎帕-纳贾尔将带来的激进议程与混乱的共和党人代表。”

California Rep. Darrell Issa to retire, endorses Jim Desmond to succeed him
Published [March 6, 2026 9:06pm EST]
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., will retire at the end of his current term and is backing San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond to succeed him, he confirmed to Fox News on Friday.
Issa’s seat is in California’s newly redrawn 48th District, which has been reshaped to favor Democrats under the state’s Prop 50.
“Today I’m announcing my enthusiastic endorsement of Supervisor Jim Desmond for Congress — to represent California’s new 48th district,” Issa told Fox News. “Jim is not only a personal friend, he’s a true patriot, a Navy veteran, a successful businessman, and has a 20-year record of public service. He understands this community, was born and raised here, and will make a terrific Congressman.”

Issa said stepping down after 25 years in Congress — and another 25 in business — was not an easy decision.
“First, we built the right campaign infrastructure, support has been overwhelming — including from President Trump — and our polling was unmistakable: We would win this race,” he said. “But after a quarter-century in Congress — and before that, a quarter-century in business — it’s the right time for a new chapter and new challenges.”
Among his recent efforts, Issa pointed to securing the Congressional Medal of Honor for retired Navy Capt. Royce Williams, crediting President Trump with making the award possible.
“For a decade, my team and I waged a nonstop fight for Royce, and we were turned down on his behalf more times than I can remember,” he said. “But that all changed this year. President Trump made Royce’s award possible, and when I witnessed the First Lady place the Medal of Honor on my hero, it was more than just a job done. It felt like a career accomplishment.”

Issa said he will remain focused on serving through 2026.
“There is still work to be done throughout 2026 both in Washington and my beloved current 48th District — and as many days that remain, I’ll dedicate each one of them to the people I serve and the indispensable nation I have sworn to protect as a soldier in the Army and as a proud and grateful Member of the People’s House of Representatives,” he said.
In a phone interview with Fox News, Issa also argued Congress has “diminished itself,” citing stagnant pay and the growing influence of outside money in elections.
“They have really, unfortunately, allowed outside money to exceed inside money in elections,” he said. “… And more people live and die with social media rather than substance, so, I’m hoping that there’s a pendulum there. You know, some of only Congress can change.”

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) praised Issa’s tenure.
“We are grateful for Congressman Darrell Issa’s decades of dedicated service to the people of California and our nation,” NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez told Fox News. “Throughout his career, he has embodied the spirit of public service, championed our military, and fought tirelessly for a stronger America.”

“We are optimistic that this district will continue to be represented by a Republican who will stand for common sense and reject the radical agenda and chaos that progressive Marni von Wilpert and socialist Ammar Campa-Najjar would bring.”
