National abortion rights behemoth Emily’s List has made its next choice among California’s vast array of Democratic congressional challengers. Jacobs, 28, is also the granddaughter of Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs and is the only woman so far to enter the race for Rep. Darrell Issa’s seat. So far, the group has backed pro-abortion-rights female candidates in four of them. He won his reelection campaign by just 1,621 votes last year against Democrat Doug Applegate, who is also running this year. In addition to Applegate and Issa, Jacobs will face Democrats Mike Levin and Paul Kerr.
