California Republican Rep. David Valadao will maintain his hold on his rocking chair in the Central Valley.
Valadao has been a key target for Democrats, who hoped a surge in turnout this year could finally reach the district they’ve been chasing for several cycles.
He has represented the area for nearly a decade, with the exception of the 2018 race where he was defeated by former Rep. TJ Cox.
After winning back that seat in 2020, Valadao was one of only 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The following year he narrowly won re-election.
