McCarthy left his position halfway through his term after losing the speakership.
“I will continue to recruit our country’s best and brightest to run for elected office,” McCarthy said.
“The Republican Party is expanding every day, and I am committed to lending my experience to support the next generation of leaders.”
Several GOP candidates are vying for the Republican-leaning district, and the GOP-led House is dealing with a shrinking majority.
Additionally, Congress is addressing pressing issues, including government spending, border security, and impeachment proceedings.
