2018 battleground election

See also: California's 50th Congressional District election, 2018

This candidate's election has been identified as a 2018 battleground race. The following content comes from our coverage of that election here.

Incumbent Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) defeated small business owner Ammar Campa-Najjar (D) in the general election for California's 50th Congressional District on November 6, 2018.

All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election in 2018. This race was identified as a 2018 battleground that might have affected partisan control of the U.S. House in the 116th Congress. Heading into the election, the Republican Party was in the majority holding 235 seats to Democrats' 193 seats, with seven vacant seats. Democrats needed to win 23 GOP-held seats in 2018 to win control of the House. From 1918 to 2016, the president’s party lost an average of 29 seats in midterm elections.

Hunter was first elected to represent the district in 2012, after serving two terms representing California's 52nd Congressional District. Hunter was elected by a margin of 35 percentage points in 2012 and re-elected by a margin of 42 percentage points in 2014 and 27 percentage points in 2016. The district hadn't elected a Democrat to Congress since 2000, but in August 2018, The Cook Political Report and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball changed their ratings of the race from "Solid Republican" to "Lean Republican." Politico included the district in its list of "60 GOP House seats in danger" on September 5, 2018.[1]

Campaign themes

2018

Campaign website

Hunter's campaign website stated the following:

“

Why should voters choose you over your opponents in this election?

I have a consistent conservative voting record that spans almost a decade which voters can utilize to determine for themselves if I share their values. I have one of the highest percentages of successfully passing legislation compared to my other California colleagues and my office has a strong reputation of providing constituent services with federal agencies, particularly with veterans and active-duty military personnel. I am consistent and unapologetic in my support of rebuilding the military, protecting the border, cutting taxes, investing in small business growth, eliminating wasteful government bureaucracy, defending life, the Second Amendment and benefits for our nation’s veterans and I will continue my efforts in all these important areas.

What will be your top domestic and international priority in Congress?

Rebuilding our military and providing for America’s national security is my No. 1 priority in both domestic and international policy. Without a strong national defense, we have no Social Security, no infrastructure, no education programs and no job creation in the manufacturing base. While these issues are all important, it is imperative that we have a military with the resources and assets to protect the homeland and provide for the security of the American people. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee, I will continue working to provide our men and women in uniform with the resources to meet their responsibilities and ensure America’s military capacity so that other domestic priorities can be addressed.[14]

Campaign ads

"“Call to Arms�" - Hunter campaign ad, released October 2, 2018

2016

The following issues were listed on Hunter's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Liberty: Individual liberty and personal responsibility are the cornerstones of our great nation. The federal government’s role should be limited to protecting and defending our God given freedoms.
  • Security: Maintain a strong national security policy that funds the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps at appropriate levels and doesn’t cut defense spending during wartime for the first time in American history. President Obama’s attempt to cut our military must be stopped. Islamofascism must be defeated.
  • Immigration: Border Security that includes a COMPLETELY secure southern and northern border. Border security is national security. NO AMNESTY for those here illegally.
  • Economy: Real Economic Growth that comes from a vibrant private sector. Fight the Obama/Pelosi takeover of every industry in the United States. Implement reform that will incentivize hard working Americans and entrepreneurs to create jobs. Bring manufacturing BACK from China and India to the United States.

Noteworthy events

Campaign finance investigation

2017: House investigation deferred to Justice Department

On March 23, 2017, the House Ethics Committee announced that it was deferring an investigation into the potential misuse of campaign funds by Rep. Hunter at the request of the Justice Department. The committee also released a statement on the allegations, saying that Hunter "may have converted tens of thousands of dollars of campaign funds from his congressional campaign committee to personal use to pay for family travel, flights, utilities, health care, school uniforms and tuition, jewelry, groceries, and other goods, services, and expenses."[16]

Hunter's attorneys, Elliot S. Berke and Gregory A. Vega, released a statement in response to the announcement. The statement said,[16]

“ Last year, Congressman Hunter became aware of expenditure issues confronting his campaign committee. Out of an abundance of caution, he took corrective action in consultation with the FEC and, ultimately, he and his wife personally repaid the campaign approximately $60,000. Congressman Hunter intends to cooperate fully with the government on this investigation, and maintains that to the extent any mistakes were made they were strictly inadvertent and unintentional.[14] �

August 2018 indictment for campaign finance violations

See also: Noteworthy criminal misconduct in American politics (2017-2018)

Hunter and his wife and former campaign manager, Margaret, were indicted on federal charges of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy on August 21, 2018. The indictment alleged that Hunter and his wife used $250,000 in campaign funds for personal use, including vacations, school tuition, and entertainment.[17][18]

Hunter denied any criminal wrongdoing in the use of his campaign funds in February 2018. "I know the rules,� he said. “And if I did, it was an accident and I paid it back." He added that he had never signed his campaign's reports to the Federal Election Commission.[19]

He said the indictment was politically motivated in an interview on August 22, 2018. "This is the Democrats' arm of law enforcement. That's what's happening right now. It's happening with Trump. It's happening with me. We're going to fight through it and win and the people get to vote in November," Hunter said.[20]

Following the indictment, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) removed Hunter from the House Armed Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Education and the Workforce Committees.[21]
