A gay Latino veteran who fought the military s homophobic Don t Ask, Don t Tell policy and has ties to San Francisco is seeking to be elected to a Southern California congressional seat. Should he win, Joseph C. Rocha would be the second out Democratic person of color elected to Congress from the state.
Rocha, 35, who lives in Escondido with his dog Daytwa, officially launched his campaign July 7 for the Golden State s 50th Congressional District. He is aiming to oust the Republican incumbent, Congressman Darrell Issa, from his suburban seat northeast of San Diego.
Their 2022 contest is expected to be one of the most closely watched in the state next year. Also running are Democrat William Stephen Houlahan and former Escondido mayor Sam Abed, a Republican, with the top two vote-getters regardless of party in the June primary advancing to the November general election.

Musial s neighbor agreed. That was definitely the [worst] street in the neighborhood. You almost needed a four-wheel drive to get through it.
