ICE
-ə
; born November 1, 1953)
is an American businessman and politician serving as the
U.S. representative
for
California's 48th congressional district
. He represented the
50th congressional district
from 2021 to 2023. A member of the
Republican Party
, he previously served in the
United States House of Representatives
from 2001 to 2019, representing two districts primarily covering
North County
in the
San Diego
area: first the
48th district
for one term and then the
49th district
for eight terms. From January 2011 to January 2015, he chaired the
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee
Issa was
CEO
of
Directed Electronics
, which he co-founded in 1982.
It is one of the largest makers of automobile aftermarket security and convenience products in the United States.
On January 10, 2018, Issa announced that he would not seek reelection to the House.
Democrat
Mike Levin
was
elected
on November 6, 2018, to become the district's next representative.
On September 19, 2018,
President
Donald Trump
nominated Issa to be director of the
United States Trade and Development Agency
On September 26, 2019, Issa announced that he was running for
California's 50th congressional district
in the
2020 election
10
He placed second in the March
top-two primary
, advancing to face Democrat
Ammar Campa-Najjar
in the November general election.
11
Issa defeated Campa-Najjar.
12
On March 6, 2026, Issa announced he would not seek re-election in
2026
13
Early life, education, and military service
The second of six children, Issa was born in
Cleveland
Ohio
, the son of Martha (née Bielfelt) and William Issa, who sold trucks and
ground valves
14
15
His father was the son of Lebanese Christian immigrants, and a member of the
Maronite Catholic
faith. His mother is of
German
and
Bohemian
Czech
) descent and a
Latter-day Saint
16
17
18
During his childhood, the large family moved to a three-bedroom house in the predominantly
Jewish
suburb of
Cleveland Heights
. Many of Issa's friends were Jewish, and he reportedly worked for a
rabbi
at one point. He became very familiar with
Jewish culture
19
In 1970, on his 17th birthday, Issa dropped out of high school and enlisted in the
Army
19
20
He became an
Explosive Ordnance Disposal
(EOD) technician assigned to the 145th Ordnance Detachment.
21
Trained to defuse bombs, Issa has said that his unit provided security for President
Richard Nixon
, sweeping stadiums for bombs before games in the
1971 World Series
22
A May 1998 investigation by Lance Williams of the
San Francisco Examiner
found that Nixon had not attended any 1971 World Series games, but that Issa's unit did perform security sweeps during the series.

First Lady
Pat Nixon
was present at Game 2 of the series, where she threw the first pitch.
23
After the series, Issa was transferred to a
supply depot
, a result of receiving poor ratings.
19
Issa received a hardship
discharge
from the Army in 1972 after his father suffered a heart attack. After that, he earned a
General Educational Development
(GED) certificate.
19
Twice that year, Issa was arrested. In the first incident, a
grand jury
indicted him for theft of a
Maserati
, in a complicated scheme with his brother William, but prosecutors dropped the charge.
24
19
In the second incident, he was stopped for driving the wrong way on a one-way street, and a police officer noticed a firearm in his car's glove compartment; Issa was charged with
carrying a concealed weapon
. He pleaded guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm and was sentenced to six months'
probation
and a small fine.
24
Issa has said he believes the record has since been
expunged
19
Issa majored in business administration at
Siena Heights University
, a small
Roman Catholic
college in
Adrian, Michigan
, completing his degree at the
Stark campus
of
Kent State University
25
26
While at Kent State, he enrolled in the
Reserve Officer Training Corps
; at graduation he was commissioned as a
second lieutenant
19
Issa served in the
Army Reserve
from 1976 to 1980, and was promoted to
captain
27
From September 9 to 26, 1980, Issa served on
active duty
while training with the
1/77th Armor Battalion
as an Assistant
S-1
. His evaluation report, by then-
Lt. Col.
Wesley Clark
, read, "This officer's performance far exceeded that of any other reserve officer who has worked in the battalion" and "Promote ahead of contemporaries. Unlimited potential."
19
28
29
Shortly before his discharge from the Army in 1980, Issa was again indicted for
grand theft auto
. The prosecution dropped the case in August 1980. In 1981, Issa was in a car crash. The other motorist sued him for $20,000; they eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
19
Business career
Quantum/Steal Stopper
After leaving the military, Issa and his second wife, Kathy Stanton, returned to the
Cleveland area
. According to Issa, he and his wife pooled their savings, sold their cars (a 1976 Mercedes and a 1967 VW
Beetle
) and a BMW motorcycle, and borrowed $50,000 from family members to invest in Quantum Enterprises, an electronics manufacturer run by a friend from
Cleveland Heights
. It assembled
bug zappers
CB radio
parts, and other consumer products for other companies. One of those clients,
car alarm
manufacturer Steal Stopper, became the path to Issa's fortune. It was struggling badly, and he took control of it by
foreclosing
a $60,000 loan he had made to it when its founder, Joey Adkins, missed a payment. Adkins remained as an employee.
19
Issa soon turned Steal Stopper around, to the point that it was supplying
Ford
with thousands of car alarms and negotiating a similar deal with
Toyota
. Early in the morning of September 7, 1982, Quantum and Steal Stopper's offices and factory in the Cleveland suburb of
Maple Heights
caught fire. The fire took three hours to put out. The buildings and almost all the inventory within were destroyed. An investigation of the fire noted "suspicious burn patterns" with fires starting in two places aided by an
accelerant
such as
gasoline
19
Adkins said Issa had appeared to prepare for a fire by increasing the
fire insurance
policy by 462% three weeks earlier, and by removing computer equipment containing accounting and customer information. St. Paul Insurance, suspicious of
arson
and
insurance fraud
, initially paid only $25,000, according to Issa.
19
30
Directed Electronics
Main article:
Directed Electronics
Steal Stopper soon returned a profit again. As car theft rose in the U.S. during the 1980s, so did the demand for security devices.
Rolls-Royce
BMW
, and
General Motors
joined Ford and Toyota as customers of Steal Stopper. In 1985, Issa sold the company to a California-based maker of
home alarms
, and moved to the
San Diego
suburb of
Vista
, to work for the company.
19
Shortly afterward, Issa left to start Directed Electronics, Inc. (DEI). He has continued to live in Vista.
19
Issa used his knowledge of the weaknesses in automotive security to develop effective
theft deterrents
. Using sensors that, when armed, would detect motion and pressure on the car's body, his device made loud noise to draw attention to a would-be car thief, such as the car's horn honking or a speaker playing a recording with Issa's voice saying: "Protected by Viper. Stand back" and "Please step away from the car", warnings for DEI's signature product, the Viper car alarm.
31
Sales grew from $1 million in the company's first year to $14 million by 1989.
19
Greene Properties
Issa is partner in 17 limited partnerships and limited liability companies (LLCs) that own commercial properties across North San Diego County.
32
He is CEO of Greene Properties, Inc., a privately held real estate investment company with commercial real estate holdings in San Diego North County. Headquartered in Vista, it manages three commercial office buildings in
Carlsbad
with a total of 26,354 square feet.
Early political career
Activism
Active in
consumer-electronics
trade organizations
, Issa became more directly involved in politics. He went to
Washington, D.C.
, to lobby Congress and later became one of California's biggest individual
campaign contributors
to Republican candidates. In 1996, he chaired the successful campaign to pass
California Proposition 209
, a
ballot initiative
that prohibited Californian
public institutions
from considering race, sex, or ethnicity in public employment, public contracting, or
public education
. He was instrumental in persuading the national Republican Party to hold
its 1996 convention
in San Diego.
19
1998 U.S. Senate election
See also:
1998 United States Senate election in California
Issa's first campaign for elected office was in 1998, when he sought the Republican nomination for
United States Senate
to face incumbent
Democrat
Barbara Boxer
. He spent $10 million of his own money in the primary, running against
California State Treasurer
Matt Fong
, Congressman
Frank Riggs
, and three others. Fong's campaign raised $3 million from contributions and complained that Issa's wealth made for an uneven playing field (Issa received only $400,000 in contributions from others). An Issa spokesman countered that the money was needed to compensate for Fong's statewide name recognition.
33
Issa lost to Fong, 45% to 40%; Riggs got 10% of the vote. A San Francisco exit poll suggested large numbers of Asian Americans, who typically vote in the Democratic primary, had crossed party lines to strategically vote for Fong.

Nine-term incumbent Republican U.S. Congressman
Ron Packard
decided not to run for reelection in 2000, in
California's 48th congressional district
. Issa ran for the seat, capitalizing on his name recognition from the 1998 Senate race. The district was primarily based in
northern
San Diego County
, but had small portions in
Riverside
and
Orange
counties. Issa finished first in the all-party primary with 35% of the vote, winning a plurality in all three counties; Republican
state senator
Bill Morrow
was second, with 24% of the votes.

After the 2010 census, Issa's district was renumbered the 49th and made significantly more compact. It lost its share of Riverside County, along with most of its share of San Diego County. It gained a small portion of southern Orange County, including
San Clemente
San Juan Capistrano
Dana Point
, and part of
Laguna Niguel
. The district was more competitive on paper than its predecessor. The old 49th had a PVI of R+10, while the new 49th has a PVI of R+4.
Issa was reelected to a seventh term, defeating Democratic nominee Jerry Tetalman, 58%–42%. The 16-point margin of victory was the smallest in Issa's political career. Issa carried the San Diego portion of his district with 55% of the vote and the Orange County part with 66%.

In the June open primary, Issa received 51% of the vote to 46% for Democrat
Doug Applegate
, a retired Marine colonel.
52
Issa and Applegate advanced to the general election in November.
53
In October, Applegate and Issa were ranked by the
Cook Political Report
as equally likely to win.
Issa sent out a campaign mailer that featured a photograph of President
Barack Obama
signing a law. The mailer said that Issa was "very pleased" that Obama signed the
Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act
, which Issa had co-sponsored.
Unusually, President Obama responded to this late campaign mailer by saying that Issa's "primary contribution to the U.S. Congress has been to obstruct and to waste taxpayer dollars on trumped up investigations that have led nowhere." Obama said that, because of fading support for
Donald Trump
, Issa was promoting his cooperation with the president although he had previously accused Obama of corruption.
54
Issa said, "I've worked with the administration on good legislation where it was possible, called out wrongdoing wherever I saw it and will continue to do so."
55
On November 23, 2016, Issa held a 3,234-vote lead with approximately 6,000 ballots still uncounted. He declared victory, but Applegate had not conceded.
56
The
Associated Press
finally declared Issa the winner on November 28, citing a small but convincing lead with only a few votes left to count.
57
2018
See also:
United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2018 § District 49
Multiple Democrats, including Applegate and environmental attorney
Mike Levin
, launched campaigns for California's 49th district seat.
58
Given the close margin in 2016, the election was expected to be highly competitive.
59
For months, Issa's Vista office was the site of weekly protests. Hundreds of people gathered to protest against Trump and his agenda and actions. At a May rally, 800 people showed up to protest the House vote to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
60
On January 10, 2018, Issa announced that he would not run for reelection.
Democrat Mike Levin won the seat.
2020
See also:
2020 United States House of Representatives elections in California § District 50
On September 26, 2019, Issa announced that he was running for
California's 50th congressional district
in the
2020 election
10
The incumbent at that time was fellow Republican
Duncan D. Hunter
, who was then under indictment. In December 2019, Hunter pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and resigned from Congress effective January 13, 2020, leaving the seat vacant.
61
In redistricting, the 50th district had absorbed much of Issa's former base in the more Republican inland portion of San Diego County. Issa placed second in the March 3, 2020, blanket primary and beat Democratic challenger
Ammar Campa-Najjar
by nearly 30,000 votes in the general election. Issa said he could switch districts because he owns his mother's home in
Bonsall
. He has long lived in
Vista
, where he has raised his family.
Tenure
Oversight committee
After the 2010 elections, Issa became chair of the
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
. He was a vocal advocate for investigations into the
Obama administration
, including the
Troubled Assets Relief Program
, the
Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
, corruption in
Afghanistan
WikiLeaks
, and the
Food and Drug Administration
, among other topics.
62
In 2010 he told the press that he wanted the committee to hold investigative hearings "seven hearings a week, times 40 weeks."
63
In February 2011, the Watchdog Institute, a nonprofit investigative reporting center based at
San Diego State University
, published an investigation alleging that as leader of the committee, Issa built a team that included staff members with close connections to industries that could benefit from his investigations.
64
On February 16, 2012, the committee held a hearing on the
Department of Health and Human Services
's
regulation requiring insurance plans to cover birth control
, which Issa believed to be a violation of the religious freedom of people who oppose the use of birth control. Democratic members submitted attorney and activist
Sandra Fluke
as a witness for promoting women's health, but Issa did not permit her to testify, saying her name was submitted too late,
65
a claim Democrats challenged.
66
Legislation
In 2013 Issa introduced the
Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2013 (H.R. 2061; 113th Congress)
67
H.R. 2061 aimed to make information on federal expenditures more easily available, accessible, and transparent.
68
President Obama signed the bill into law on May 9, 2014.
69
Issa introduced the
FOIA Oversight and Implementation Act of 2014 (H.R. 1211; 113th Congress)
on March 15, 2013, a bill to amend the
Freedom of Information Act
in order to make it easier and faster to request and receive information.
70
71
The bill would have required the
Office of Management and Budget
to create a single FOIA website for people to use to make FOIA requests and check on the status of their request. It would also have created a Chief FOIA Officers Council charged with reviewing compliance and recommending improvements,
70
and required the federal agency to release the information it disclosed to the person who requested it publicly afterward.
71
Issa argued in favor of the bill because it "shifts the burden of proof from the public requestor seeking information about a government agency...to the government being open and transparent unless it has a good reason to withhold."
72
The bill passed the House unanimously on February 25, 2014,
73
but a nearly identical Senate bill failed when it was tabled by House Speaker
John Boehner
74
Issa introduced the
Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (H.R. 1232; 113th Congress)
on March 18, 2013, to make changes and reforms to the framework that manages how the federal government buys new technology.
75
One of the requirements would be that the government develop a streamlined plan for its acquisitions.
76
The bill would increase the power of federal agencies'
chief information officers
(CIO) so that they could be more effective.
77
Each agency would also be reduced to having only one CIO, who would be responsible for the success and failure of the agency's IT projects.
78
The bill would also require the federal government to make use of private sector best practices.
77
The bill was intended to reduce IT procurement-related waste.
79
It passed the House in a
voice vote
on February 25, 2014.
76
In December 2014 it passed as a section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
80
Issa also introduced and co-sponsored
The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014
(Pub.L. 113–283, S. 2521; commonly referred to as FISMA Reform), which Obama signed into law on December 18, 2014.
81
82
On May 7, 2014, Issa introduced a
simple resolution
in the House (which passed 231 - 187):
Recommending that the House of Representatives find Lois G. Lerner, former Director, Exempt Organizations, Internal Revenue Service, in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
. The resolution holds
Lois Lerner
, one of the central
Internal Revenue Service
officials involved in the
2013 IRS scandal
, in
contempt of Congress
for her refusal to testify about the scandal before Issa's committee in response to a subpoena.
83
84
85
In July 2017, Issa introduced
the CLASSICS Act
to Congress in a bipartisan effort to empower artists by collecting royalties for the preceding three-year period and also by ensuring their creative rights remain in force for pre-1972 recordings just as newer artists are guaranteed by current legislation. Issa has been a consistent cosponsor of the Fair Play Fair Pay Act as well; granting radio performance rights for musicians and
record producers
86
87
88
Bombing plot
In 2001, Issa's San Clemente district office was targeted in an
aborted bombing plot
Jewish Defense League
leader
Irving Rubin
was arrested along with
Earl Krugel
in connection with the plot, which reportedly had focused on other targets before shifting to Issa's office.
16
89
Issa speculated that the cause of the incident may have been a column written by political commentator
Debbie Schlussel
in which she charged that Issa sympathized with
Hezbollah
despite its being listed by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization, charges he denied.
16
90
91
Ethics complaints and 2010 award
In September 2011, a liberal advocacy and lobbying group, American Family Voices, filed a complaint with the
Office of Congressional Ethics
against Issa, alleging he had repeatedly used his position of authority on the Oversight Committee to improperly intervene in dealings with
Goldman Sachs
Merrill Lynch
, and
DEI Holdings
, all of which Issa is associated with in some way. Issa's office rejected the allegations.
92
The year before, the
Project on Government Oversight
, a government watchdog group, gave Issa its Good Government Award for his contributions to government oversight and transparency. These included publicizing documents produced by the
New York Federal Reserve Bank
in response to a congressional subpoena, publicly exposing the NYFR's secret "back-door bailout" of
AIG
's counterparties, and cofounding a Transparency Caucus dedicated to "promoting a more open and accountable government through education, legislation, and oversight."
93
94
In 2012 Issa featured in
TechCrunch
's list of "The 20 Most Innovative People in Democracy."
95
In late February 2021, Issa and a dozen other Republican House members skipped votes and
enlisted others to vote for them
, citing the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic
, while actually attending the
Conservative Political Action Conference
, which was held at the same time as their slated absences.
96
In response, the
Campaign for Accountability
, an ethics watchdog group, filed a complaint with the
House Committee on Ethics
and requested an investigation into Issa and the other lawmakers.

Political positions
Abortion
As of 2020, Issa had a A+ rating from the
Susan B. Anthony List
for his abortion-related voting record.
105
He supported the
overturning of
Roe v. Wade
, calling the day the decision was made a "great day for the cause and principle of life".
106
2003 California gubernatorial recall election
Issa came to national prominence in 2003 when he contributed more than $1.6 million to help fund a signature-gathering drive for the petition to
recall
California Governor
Gray Davis
. At the time he made the contribution, it was widely believed that Issa intended to run to replace Davis. But after fellow Republican
Arnold Schwarzenegger
entered the race two days before the filing deadline, Issa announced that he would not run.
107
He later said his mission had been accomplished with Davis's recall and that he wanted to continue to represent his district in Congress and work toward Middle East peace.
24
At one point in the campaign he suggested people
clarification needed
should vote against recalling Davis unless one of the two leading Republican contenders dropped out, concerned that Schwarzenegger and fellow Republican
Tom McClintock
would split votes, resulting in Democratic lieutenant governor
Cruz Bustamante
's election.
108
Issa endorsed Schwarzenegger, who won the governorship when Davis was recalled.
Donald Trump
Issa attracted attention for his close relationship with and strong support for Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election.
109
110
111
He endorsed Trump in March 2016.
112
When the
Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording
surfaced, Issa condemned Trump's remarks but did not rescind his endorsement.
113
In early February 2017, Issa expressed his support for a special prosecutor to look into Trump's ties to Russia. On February 27, he walked back his previous comments.
114
Issa supported Trump's dismissal of FBI Director
James Comey
, saying "Comey had lost my confidence long ago."
115
Issa said he believed Russia meddled with the 2016 election. He supported Trump's
firing of Comey
(who was leading the investigation into the meddling) and that said the U.S. should focus on other issues.
116
On January 7, 2021, after Trump supporters
stormed the U.S. Capitol
building, Issa
voted to reject
the certification of Pennsylvania's electoral votes in the
2020 presidential election
117
He voted against
impeaching Trump
on an
articles
of
impeachment
for "
incitement
of
insurrection
" in the aftermath of the attack on the Capitol.
118
In May 2021, Issa voted against the creation of an
independent commission to investigate the January 6 attack
119
Environment
