David Valadao, Republican who voted to impeach Donald Trump ...
Quick Glance: David Valadao, a Republican who voted to impeach Donald Trump, has won a close California election.
  • When the Associated Press predicted that Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, would win California's 22nd Congressional District, he had about 52% of the vote with over 98% of the ballots counted.

  • "The Central Valley is my home, and I am once again humbled by the Central Valley's support and faith in me," Valadao said in a statement after the Associated Press certified his victory.

  • According to interviews conducted previous to the election, some Valley voters favored Republicans due to their disdain for Democrats in Sacramento.

  • And, as California GOP consultant Matt Rexroad has repeatedly told The Sacramento Bee, Valadao is "the one guy" who "never, ever count out of a race."
