San Diego Republicans failed Monday to back a candidate for the 50th Congressional District, including the candidate who currently holds the seat. A photo obtained by the Union-Tribune shows one of the votes resulted in 21 delegates siding with former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio. “I will not tolerate any beating up of a Republican candidate,” Krvaric said. Descanso Republican Larry Wilske, a retired Navy SEAL and former candidate for the 50th District, endorsed Issa when Wilske withdrew from the race. Krvaric said the party’s official endorsement is not essential but can help a candidate’s campaign in a variety of ways.
