GOP Rep. Valadao holds Central Valley, California, swing seat
The seat was a top target for Democrats, who were hoping to finally clinch the district.
California Republican Rep. David Valadao will maintain his grip on his swing seat in the Central Valley.
Valadao was a top target for Democrats, who were hoping an uptick in voter turnout this year could finally clinch the district they’ve been eyeing for several cycles.
He has represented the area for nearly a decade — save for the 2018 race, where he was defeated by former Rep. TJ Cox.
After winning back that seat in 2020, Valadao went on to be one of only 10 Republicans to vote to impeach former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. He narrowly won reelection the next year.
