- Democratic congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar is running against Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter, who is a subject of a federal indictment that alleges he and his wife misused $250,000 of campaign funds for personal expenses.
- A Fox News headline on Friday earned some criticism when it incorrectly linked the Democratic candidate Campa-Najjar to the deeds of his dead grandfather, whom he never met.
- Campa-Najjar's grandfather, who led an arm of a terrorist organization, was killed by Israeli forces in 1973, sixteen years before the California candidate was born.
- Campa-Najjar called the Fox News headline unfortunate, but encouraged readers to read through the entire article, which he described as "pretty balanced."
