Randy Villegas is announcing a series of town halls to hear from voters across California’s 22nd Congressional District; the tour will include stops in Kern, Tulare, and Fresno counties. Villegas is the only CA-22 candidate who has announced public, in-person town hall events; the incumbent, Rep. David Valadao, has not held an in-person public town hall since being re-elected.
“Families in the Central Valley are struggling with everything from rising costs to masked federal agents wreaking havoc in our communities. Anyone who wants the honor of representing this district should be able to face voters and hear directly about their concerns,” said Villegas. “The fact that our incumbent has time to meet with his corporate donors but can’t face his own constituents shows us what a coward he is. If he is going to vote to take health care away from tens of thousands of us, he should at least be willing to meet with voters and explain why he is prioritizing his corporate sponsors over us. ”
The stops on the tour are as follows:
Tuesday, February 24th at 5 pm (Kern County) – Salon Juarez, 815 E 18th St, Bakersfield, CA 93305
Sunday, March 15th at 2 pm (Tulare County) – Roox Agency, 127 E Tulare Ave, Tulare, CA 93274 – Sponsored by Tulare and Kings County Democratic Central Committees
TBD (Fresno County) – Location TBD
