Meet the Immigration Lawyer Running for Congress in California
"He’s not a watchdog—he’s a lapdog," said Democrat Curtis Morrison of his election opponent: Republican Rep. Darrell Issa
ESCONDIDO, California — Curtis Morrison, a longtime immigration lawyer and political activist, launched his campaign last Saturday to challenge Republican Rep. Darrell Issa in California’s 48th congressional district.
With deep roots in immigration reform and a history of sparring with political powerhouses, Morrison enters the race emphasizing experience, local ties, and what he calls a necessary reckoning with the realities of border life and government dysfunction.
In an interview with Migrant Insider, Morrison shared sharp critiques of Issa, a former tech CEO and one of Congress’s wealthiest members, and laid out his own vision for the district, which stretches from Riverside County, and includes most of San Diego County, down to the U.S.-Mexico border.
