Ammar Campa-Najjar nearly defeated California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter last year as the incumbent faced a trial on charges of illegally misusing campaign funds. Next year, Campa-Najjar will try again.

The Democratic challenger filed a statement of candidacy form with the Federal Election Commission on Monday declaring his intention to run once more for the 50th District seat in 2020.

And he confirmed his candidacy on Twitter on Wednesday.

“I’m ready to pour my heart & soul into this race, community organize, listen, learn, and become the representative [the 50th District] deserves,” he wrote.

Campa-Najjar telegraphed his candidacy in an earlier tweet in which he compared his race to former Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s failed bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas. The candidates lost by similar margins.
