San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond surprised political observers when he suddenly switched districts on Friday in his run for the United States House of Representatives.

Desmond, who will be termed out of office this year as he finishes his second four-year term on the Board of Supervisors, has been raising money for his congressional race against incumbent Mike Levin in the 49th Congressional District. Levin is a Democrat.
