# David Valadao Republican member of the U.S. House from California's Central Valley, representing **CA-22**. A dairy farmer by background, he has held the seat across non-consecutive terms, losing it in 2018 and regaining it in 2020. ⭐ **He is one of two House Republicans still serving who voted to impeach Trump in 2021 ([[Trump Second Impeachment]]), and the only one seeking re-election in 2026.** The other, [[Dan Newhouse]], is retiring in January 2027; the remaining eight retired or lost primaries in 2022. Both survivors represent top-two primary states (see [[Jungle Primary]]). That fact is why he appears across this vault's impeachment and party-discipline pages rather than as a routine member entry. [[Proposition 50 (California)]] redrew his district to add Democratic Fresno-area territory, cutting the 2024 Trump margin there to under two points. He advanced from the June 2026 primary with about 41% against Democrat Randy Villegas at about 32%; the general is 3 November 2026. *Stub — expand with: the 2018 loss and 2020 return, his impeachment vote and its aftermath in the district, agriculture and water politics, and the 2026 general result when it lands.* ## See Also - [[Proposition 50 (California)]] — the map his race is being run on - [[2026 House Races Hub]]
