Democrats line up to challenge Devin Nunes - and former candidate Janz already endorsed one

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Devin Nunes’ big money rival from last year’s midterm election announced on Thursday that he’s backing a first-time political candidate who wants to unseat the Republican incumbent in 2020.

Andrew Janz, who raised more than $9.2 million in an unsuccessful challenge to Nunes in the 2018 election, is getting behind financial adviser and Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce board member Phil Arballo for the 2020 San Joaquin Valley congressional race.

Arballo is one of three Democrats who’ve announced plans to challenge Nunes of Tulare, who has held his seat since 2003 and become a divisive national figure because of his staunch defense of President Donald Trump.

Nunes had his narrowest victory in his 16 years as a congressman last year, when Janz lost by five percentage points after raising $9.2 million in 2018 alone. Janz, a Fresno County deputy district attorney, is running for Fresno’s mayor’s office in 2020.
