Fight for the House: California sees another GOP challenger

Another tough U.S. House race is shaping up in Southern California.

Orange County Supervisor Michelle Steel says she's challenging first-term Democratic Rep. Harley Rouda in the coastal 48th District.

Steel says in a tweet it's time to "get our country back on track."

In the 2018 election, Rouda toppled long-serving Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher in the GOP-leaning district.

Orange County was once a nationally known Republican stronghold. But Democrats seized four U.S. House seats all or partly in the county last year, helping the party retake control of the chamber.

Steel is the latest candidate to line up in a Republican effort to regain that ground.

Rouda's campaign says he was elected because the district's voters wanted change.
