Recently, he ran in the June primary election as a Republican for the 49th Congressional District seat held by Rep. Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano. In San Diego County results, Rodriguez finished third behind Levin and Republican Brian Maryott. As many as five other people have expressed interest in seeking the position.
