United States Representative, District 22

David Valadao represents California's 22nd District. His family's dairy farm in Kings County has been his life's work since the 1990s. He served in the California State Assembly before winning his first term in Congress in 2012. In the House he sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee, which controls how federal money gets spent. He co-chairs caucuses on Armenian issues and the Sikh American community. He has pushed for water relief for Central Valley farmers hit by drought.

He says agriculture and water are his top priorities for a district that depends on both. In January 2021 he voted to impeach President Trump after the attack on the Capitol. He said he had to vote his conscience. He called the president's rhetoric un American. In 2025 he voted for a federal budget bill that added new work requirements for Medicaid. He said no one would be kicked off coverage. He said able bodied recipients would simply need to look for work.

He promises to keep fighting for water relief for Central Valley farms and families. His campaign says he will keep working with members of both parties in Congress.

They have served on the Visalia Unified school board. There they have taken part in decisions on school safety and student welfare.

Villegas says government should work for everyone, not just the powerful few. During their time on the school board, the district approved settlements in sexual abuse cases in closed sessions. Critics say the settlements kept those cases quiet. Villegas says the agreements do not stop survivors from speaking out. They say student safety has always been their top priority.

Villegas promises to hold town halls on guaranteed health care access. They also call for a halt on new data centers in the district.
