NRCC Chairman calls Cong. Issa a “fearless protector”
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Steve Stivers commented that Cong. Issa’s retirement is a “great loss for the Congress and the American people.”
In addition, Stivers called the congressman a “fearless protector of integrity in government.”
Furthermore, he said, “In the 49th district, Democrats are locked in what is fast becoming one of the bloodiest primaries in America. While Democrats fight with each other, Republicans will focus on fighting Democrats – and that’s how we plan to win. We look forward to facing whoever limps out of the Democrats’ battle royale: black and blue, and broke.”
