Here's some background on the Dem who nearly defeated Issa last fall, Marine Col. Doug Applegate. He's likely to win the Dem primary in June.
As a Marine Colonel serving around the world and a civilian trial attorney, I have a proven record spanning four decades. I grew up in a hardworking, middle-class, blue-collar family and was the first Applegate to graduate from college. Joining the Marines months before Saigon fell, I became an infantry officer and, later, a Judge Advocate. My values come from my parents. My mom owned a neighborhood convenience store and later was an insurance agent. My father, a World War II veteran twice wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, worked a bread route and served as a union GM plant security officer.

The man Republican House Speaker John Boehner put in charge of investigating government wrongdoing was himself indicted for stealing a car, accused of stealing at least one other car, arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, and twice suspected of insurance fraud – and once extensively investigated by authorities for arson, because his former business associates accused him, on the record, of burning down a building to collect the insurance payout.
...There was particular attention to his indictment for grand theft when he reported his Mercedes stolen after his brother William sold it; William had earlier obtained the right to do so from his brother. The two men had different stories for a while, and authorities believed they’d conspired to sell the car, report a “theft” and collect insurance on it.
(I personally think the arson investigation was even more damning: An Issa colleague gave investigators vivid detail that indicated his car-alarm factory had been intentionally torched, after Issa increased his insurance from $100,000 to $462,000. “Quite frankly,” Joey Adkins told authorities, “I feel the man set the fire.” But the local fire marshal never determined the fire’s cause.)
