Democrat Brian Nash informs me he's dropping out of the CA48 Congress race. Incumbent Darrell Issa still faces competition from @curtismorrison.bsky.social @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social and Ammar Campa-Najjar. especially if #Prop50 passes.

Darrell Issa’s suit against Sec. of State Weber makes the same case. But if fellow GOP Rep. Bost loses his argument on “standing” to sue, Issa’s case is lost.
