More about Randy
Dr Randy Villegas was never meant to make it this far. He's the proud 31-year-old son of working-class Mexican immigrants who is using his PhD in Political Science to fight for his community. He's a family auto shop owner, school board Trustee and Democratic nominee for Congress in California's Central Valley, and with Prop 50 passing his seat CA-22 is now the most flippable in the entire country.
He's raised over $900,000 with zero corporate PAC money from 12,000 individual donors. The Republican incumbent David Valadao last lost his seat during the previous Trump midterms, and with polling and maps both even worse than 2018 - he's never been more vulnerable.
His Democratic Primary opponent was the only Democrat in the California Assembly to vote against Prop 50, and donated to Republican Vince Fong.
Randy is one of the standout candidates across this entire cycle and has the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders, civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, The Congressional Progressive and Hispanic Caucuses, and all four Democratic County Chairs in the district. Even a local Republican Mayor endorsed his campaign. This is a battle for CA-22, and the House, but it's also a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. With our help, Randy will be one of the faces of the Democratic Party who can lead us into a winning, brighter future.
