Villegas Surpasses Valadao in Fundraising | Fresno News
Description
In a fiercely contested race in California’s 22nd District, Democrat Randy Villegas just edged out Republican incumbent David Valadao in the latest fundraising report—raising over $897K to Valadao’s $694K. With the district spanning Bakersfield, Visalia, and parts of Fresno, both sides are pouring resources into what’s shaping up as one of the nation’s tightest races. Villegas touts grassroots support, with 96% of donors giving $100 or less, backed by unions and environmental groups. Valadao counters with his larger overall haul and labels Villegas a “socialist stooge.” While Valadao still leads in total funds raised and cash on hand, the momentum is shifting—and other Central Valley races are heating up too, proving fundraising is a make-or-break factor as election day nears.
