David Valadao (R-CA) has demonstrated a strong ability to withstand political challenges, including surviving multiple Democratic efforts to unseat him in California\u2019s altered 22nd Congressional District, which has been redrawn to favor Democrats. Despite a history of overcoming arduous environments and voting to impeach President Trump, Valadao faces a tough upcoming race against Democratic challenger Randy Villegas, an anti-establishment candidate backed by prominent progressive figures and organizations. The district&#8217;s demographic shift to being 73% Latino and recent primary results suggest a potentially more favorable landscape for Democrats. Valadao&#8217;s autonomous reputation and local roots, along with his focus on district priorities, are seen as his key strengths, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-endorsees-had-a-rough-night-yesterday-dont-read-too-much-into-it\/\" title=\"...

Democrats are employing a different strategy this cycle by supporting Villegas, a candidate emphasizing frustration with both parties and outsider credentials, aiming to break Valadao&#8217;s resilience. The outcome of this race could indicate whether Democrats have found an effective approach to defeating resilient Republican incumbents in battleground districts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/david-valadao\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"6912\">David Valadao<\/a> (R-CA) has spent years defying political gravity.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4625765\/tom-kean-fundraiser-congress-return\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Tom Kean to hold fundraiser same day he returns to Congress after three-month hiatus<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4625047\/kinzinger-pac-targeting-gop-enablers\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Anti-Trump Republican Kinzinger unveils new PAC targeting GOP \u2018enablers\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4624851\/van-hollen-endorse-el-sayed-michigan\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Chris Van Hollen endorses leftist Abdul el Sayed in Michigan after socialist primary sweep in New York<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republican incumbent in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"60\">California\u2019s<\/a> 22nd Congressional District has survived multiple Democratic attempts to unseat him, won back his seat after the 2018 blue wave, and remains one of the few House Republicans who voted to impeach <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">President Donald Trump<\/a> and still held on to office.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Democrats are preparing another challenge in what is expected to be one of the most competitive House races in the country. It\u2019s a crucial piece of House Democrats\u2019 electoral puzzle that is their bid to net at least three seats and win the majority for the first time since losing it in the 2022 cycle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this time, they are betting on a different electoral formula in the Central Valley district, which includes a swath of Bakersfield, one of the agricultural region\u2019s biggest cities with nearly 423,000 people. For years, Democrats recruited centrist \u201cValleycrat\u201d candidates such as Rudy Salas and Jasmeet Bains, members of the state Assembly or former Sacramento lawmakers. Wagering that centrists with local roots could win over independents and crossover Republican voters in the Central Valley. That strategy repeatedly failed against Valadao despite significant Democratic investment.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-a-different-kind-of-democrat\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A different kind of Democrat<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their new nominee, Randy Villegas, is offering a starkly different approach.

An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oliver-anthonys-live-event-in-north-carolina-attracts-thousands\/\" title=\"Thousands flock to Oliver Anthony&#039;s live event in North Carolina.\">anti-establishment message<\/a> can be powerful in a district where voters feel ignored. The challenge is convincing voters that you\u2019re truly an outsider and not just another politician.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Villegas, who earned a Ph.D. in politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, would, if he wins, be among a group of about <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/documents\/Doctoral_Degrees.pdf\">two dozen lawmakers<\/a> in Washington, D.C., with a doctoral degree. Yet Villegas would join a growing group of far-left House Democrats, or soon-to-be lawmakers, getting elected in the 2026 cycle. In the June 23 New York Democratic primaries, all three of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s endorsed candidates for Congress were victorious, marking a massive win for the Left and a major blow for establishment Democrats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-new-district-blues\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">New district blues<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complicating matters for Valadao is the fact that he is running in a dramatically altered district.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was one of five California Republican congressmen whose districts were redrawn under Proposition 50, the redistricting measure championed by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1426\">Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> (D-CA) and state Democrats. Voters approved the changes to House maps that could expand Democrats\u2019 already commanding 43-9 advantage in California\u2019s congressional delegation to as much as 48-4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new boundaries significantly altered District 22. Previously, the district spanned portions of Kings, Tulare, Fresno, and Kern counties. Under the new map, parts of western Fresno, Madera, and eastern Bakersfield were added, creating a district many Democrats believe is more favorable to their party.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valadao, 49, has blasted the mid-decade redistricting effort as a partisan power grab and accused Newsom of prioritizing politics over governing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstead of doing his job as a governor and actually functioning as an adult, he\u2019s chosen political fights,\u201d Valadao told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet political observers have repeatedly underestimated Valadao before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cValadao has survived political environments that are extremely difficult for him,\u201d Klink said. \u201cCalifornia political observers have learned not to underestimate him or count him out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others believe this year may finally be different.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPolitically speaking, David Valadao has been the proverbial cat with nine lives,\u201d veteran Democratic strategist Garry South told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. \u201cThis year, he may find he has used them all up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South pointed to the district\u2019s demographics, the primary results, and broader political headwinds facing Republicans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe newly redrawn CD 22 is 73% Latino, and his run-off opponent, Randy Villegas, is obviously Latino,\u201d South said. \u201cEven more ominous, Valadao, as the incumbent, received only 40.7% in the primary, while the two Democrats split more than 59% of the vote. Also, Valadao is running in a midterm election in which the party in power in Washington almost always loses seats, and Trump has a 29% approval rating in California. It looks like the perfect storm for Valadao that could blow away his congressional career.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-a-party-divided\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A party divided<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fight among Democrats in the jungle primary itself generated controversy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had previously indicated it would remain neutral in the contest, where Villegas and state Assemblywoman Jasmeet Bains were locked in a battle for the second runoff spot behind Valadao. But before the primary, the DCCC added Bains to its Red to Blue program, which provides fundraising and organizational support to candidates in competitive House races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move angered some local Democratic leaders who argued national party officials had abandoned their neutrality pledge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Villegas, 31, emerged victorious, however, the committee quickly rallied behind him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRandy is a people-first leader capable of energizing voters and winning this seat,\u201d DCCC Chairwoman Suzan DelBene (WA) said in a statement. \u201cWe are all in to elect him and flip this seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Villegas also secured endorsements from Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the two-time House speaker who is retiring after the Nov. 3 elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, defeating Valadao has proven easier said than done.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-valley-versus-washington\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Valley versus Washington<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valadao, who comes from a dairy farming family and relates to the economic struggles facing Central Valley residents, has long cultivated an image as an independent-minded representative focused on local concerns rather than national partisan battles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThroughout my time in Congress, I\u2019ve worked to put my district first regardless of party and deliver real results for the communities I represent,\u201d Valadao told the <em>Washington Examiner.<\/em>  \u201cI hope voters will once again support that independent, bipartisan approach in November so I can continue fighting for the issues that matter most to the Central Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeff Le, a former deputy Cabinet secretary to former Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, said that independence may be Valadao\u2019s best path to survival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRep. Valadao has had to distance himself from the president,\u201d Le told the <em>Washington Examiner.<\/em> \u201cAccording to conservative Heritage Action, he has voted just 50% of the time with the president\u2019s agenda this session, far lower than the 85% score that Republican members of Congress average. He has been vocal against aspects of tariffs, Iran, and has a pulse on the Medicaid cuts and their impact on his district, which disproportionately depends on the program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Le questioned whether even that may be enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe president\u2019s historically low numbers and the voter profile shift from Prop. 50 might be too much for Rep. Valadao to overcome in an average D+5 generic ballot year,\u201d he said. \u201cIf he can overcome the national mood, it\u2019ll be because of his continued emphasis on independence and specific Valley priorities and constituencies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeff Burton, a former senior National Republican Congressional Committee official and cofounding partner at Maven Advocacy, argued Democrats are misreading the race by focusing on candidate ideology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDemocrats have tried moderates, local elected officials, and now a Bernie Sanders-endorsed Democratic socialist,\u201d Burton said. \u201cThe problem isn\u2019t the Democratic candidate. The problem for Democrats is that David Valadao has built a durable coalition of farmers, dyed-in-the-wool Republicans, and non-socialist Democrats that consistently transcends party labels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burton cited the congressman\u2019s close association with his birthplace of Hanford, a San Joaquin Valley region of the greater Central Valley that\u2019s home to about 58,000 people. Surrounded by productive agricultural lands, its robust food processing industry is a major employer in town and for residents of surrounding communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4617527\/time-limit-for-democratic-socialism-tiana-lowe-doescher\/\"><strong>\u2018THERE\u2019S A TIME LIMIT\u2019 FOR DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM: TIANA LOWE DOESCHER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDavid Valadao is Hanford. He is the Central Valley,\u201d Burton said. \u201cD.C. hasn\u2019t changed him. He\u2019s truly one of them, and the voters know it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether that coalition can withstand a dramatically redrawn district and another difficult political environment may determine not only Valadao\u2019s future, but whether Democrats have finally found the formula to defeat one of the most resilient Republicans in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Barnini Chakraborty (@Barnini) is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/legacy-media-largely-ignore-damning-report-about-ny-nursing-home-deaths\/\" title=\"Legacy Media Largely Ignore Damning ...ort About NY Nursing Home Deaths\">senior political reporter<\/a> at the <\/em>Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
