David Valadao.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/california-relocation-journal.com\/?p=849\">Your last-minute voter guide to California\u2019s 2026 primary election<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s voter-approved Proposition 50 redrew the lines of this Latino-majority district slightly in Democrats\u2019 favor. Two top Democratic candidates are battling over who is the best choice to face Valadao (R-Hanford) in November. <\/p>\n<p>Valadao is particularly vulnerable after he voted last year to cut Medicaid spending, a critical resource for many in this poor, rural area. Two-thirds of residents in the district are enrolled in the federally funded low-income health insurance program, and more than 60,000 are expected to lose coverage when work requirements and other federal rules take effect next year.<\/p>\n<p>National Democratic infighting has overshadowed a classic moderate vs. progressive primary race since House Democrats\u2019 campaign arm threw its support behind one candidate, Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains (D-Delano), over Randy Villegas, a school board trustee backed by progressives including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).<\/p>\n<p>The race was already tense when the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added Bains, a family doctor and two-term assemblywoman, to its \u201cRed to Blue\u201d program, which provides staff and fundraising support to Democrats running against vulnerable Republican incumbents. Local party leaders said they had received assurances from national Democrats that they would stay out of the race, which further angered Villegas and his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another example as to why people\u2019s faith in the Democratic Party and party leadership is at an all-time low,\u201d Villegas said in an interview with The Times. \u201cIn many ways, it\u2019s a badge of honor to not be the insider candidate and to say that I\u2019m actually going to fight for community members here and not D.C. elites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DCCC chair, Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington, cited Bains\u2019 background as a family doctor and her track record in the Legislature fighting to expand access to healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe only weigh in on primaries when we feel that one candidate stands out as the strongest possible nominee to ensure that we win in the general election,\u201d DelBene said in a recent interview on CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d \u201cThis is a district that has been devastated by cuts to healthcare, a large Medicaid population, so she\u2019s an incredible candidate and definitely can speak to the issues needed on health care.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>For Democrats, the outcome of the primary could have national significance. With President Trump\u2019s popularity at a low point nationwide \u2014 and especially in California \u2014 the party hopes to win enough seats in the 2026 election to oust the Republicans from power in the U.S. House of Representatives. <\/p>\n<p>Valadao, who was first elected to Congress in 2012, has been a perpetual target for Democrats, who have held a sizable registration advantage in his district. A moderate Republican, Valadao had emphasized his support for immigration reform, a departure from his party. Still, Democrats ousted Valadao in the blue wave of 2018, only for him to win back the seat in 2020 and remain in office ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Both Villegas and Bains promote themselves as the Democrats\u2019 best option to topple Valadao once again.<\/p>\n<p>Villegas, the son of Mexican immigrants, is endorsed by the House Hispanic and progressive caucuses and has painted Bains as a corporate-backed candidate who would bend to special interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t just offer that we\u2019re not Trump. The Democratic Party actually needs to stand for something,\u201d he said. \u201cTo me that means fighting for universal healthcare, universal childhood education, banning members of Congress from trading stocks, getting rid of corporate PAC money. Those things may make Democratic leadership uncomfortable, and I\u2019m OK with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bains is campaigning on her experience as a physician in a region known for its poor environmental and health outcomes. After medical school, she returned to Kern County, where she completed her residency and continued working at clinics that primarily serve low-income patients in the region.<\/p>\n<p>She decided to run for the seat after Valadao voted in favor of H.R. 1, the Republican spending bill Trump signed into law last year that cut nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid funding to pay for tax cuts, which Bains described as a \u201cbetrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Valley, your word is your bond,\u201d she said in a phone interview as she drove the 250-mile journey from her district to the state Capitol in Sacramento. \u201cIn the beginning he kept telling everyone that he wasn\u2019t going to vote for it, and I took him for his word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/california-relocation-journal.com\/?p=848\">Poll shows Bass, Raman and Pratt locked in tight race ahead of Tuesday\u2019s mayoral primary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bains is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was the first South Asian woman elected to the California Legislature. She continues to work weekend shifts at a clinic in Delano.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the healthcare disparities of people losing their private insurance and having to transfer to Medicaid\u201d was bad, Bains said. \u201cWith the trillion dollars cut from Medicaid federally, I\u2019m now in a position where I\u2019m transferring my patients from Medicaid to nothing. The problem in the Valley for healthcare has gotten worse and worse and worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the reason labor unions including SEIU Local 521, which represents workers in public, nonprofit and healthcare sectors in Kern and other counties around the state, are backing Bains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin my own union, the members that I represent in Kern County, in certain ZIP Codes they have a 15-year less life expectancy than my union members living in Monterey County, which is a very similar community\u201d with rural agricultural interests, said Riko Mendez, the union\u2019s chief elected officer.<\/p>\n<p>He said Bains understands the region\u2019s unique health challenges and has used her perch in the Legislature to address them, including pushing for funding to research and treat valley fever, an infection caused by fungal spores in the region\u2019s soils.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think her experience, her profile, her message is one that we agree with, and that has the best chance of winning in the runoff against Valadao,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bains\u2019 time commitments in Sacramento and working at the clinic leave her little time for a traditional campaign knocking doors and showing up to community events. Some voters backing Villegas have noticed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, showing up is one of the most important things, and he\u2019s the only candidate who has been doing that consistently,\u201d 18-year-old Vanessa Orozco Romero said after a recent candidate forum in Bakersfield. Though nearly a dozen candidates for various offices were invited, Villegas and two other Democrats running for legislative seats were the only ones to attend.<\/p>\n<p>Orozco Romero called the DCCC\u2019s decision to back Bains \u201cstupid and morally not OK,\u201d especially since neither of the candidates earned enough delegate support to win the state party endorsement earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Bains and Villegas have similar backgrounds as children of immigrants who grew up in the southern Central Valley. Though they both went on to earn high-level degrees, each is adamant about staying in Kern County to improve life for its residents.<\/p>\n<p>The district is anchored in the eastern side of Bakersfield, home to California\u2019s once-thriving oil fields, and stretches northward toward Fresno to include swaths of agricultural lands and small farming towns.<\/p>\n<p>While there are more than twice as many registered Democrats in the district as Republicans, Democratic candidates often underperform in the Central Valley and independent voters play a crucial role picking winning candidates. Even under the new Proposition 50 lines that favor Democrats, President Trump would have beat former Vice President Kamala Harris by nearly 2 points.<\/p>\n<p>Though nearly two-thirds of voters in the district are Latino, turnout is usually low among Spanish-speaking voters who are often discouraged by negative attack ads, Democratic activists said.<\/p>\n<p>Save for the 2018 midterms during Trump\u2019s first term, Valadao, a dairy farmer, has frustrated Democrats by continually winning over enough independents to hold onto the seat. Though the three candidates are competing in an open primary, Valadao is expected to advance to the general election as a longtime incumbent and the only Republican on the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs he does in every primary election, Congressman Valadao is working hard to earn the vote of all Democrats, Independents, and Republicans,\u201d Robert Jones, a consultant for Valadao\u2019s campaign, wrote in an email. \u201cWe trust that the voters of the Central Valley will send the two best candidates to the general election in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/california-relocation-journal.com\/?p=846\">California is teetering on a healthcare cliff, but few are paying attention<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Democrats, Jasmeet Bains and Randy Villegas, battle for a chance to face Republican Rep.
