It's Randy Villegas — your Democratic nominee in California's 22nd District. Today, I'm asking you for $3 -- and here are three reason why: #1. The first poll of the general election just came out, and we're leading MAGA Republican David Valadao by 4 points. #2. A top election forecaster just moved our race from Toss-up to Lean Democratic. #3. Our opponent is still outraising us — because he takes corporate PAC money, and I don't. If we get the support we need to tell our story, we will win

I'm Randy Villegas, Democrat running to unseat David Valadao in CA-22. Valadao promised that he would never cut Medicaid. Then he voted for Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and gutted it. In a district where 70% of residents depend on Medi-Cal. He made his choice. Help us make ours. Chip in $5, $35, or $100 to hold him accountable.

This is Randy Villegas - Democratic nominee in California's 22nd District. We're at the point in the race where we're spending money faster than we can raise it. That means every dollar you give today goes straight to TV ads, canvassers, and reaching voters before they cast their ballot. But if we come up short, we'll have to cut something. In the only toss-up race in the state of California, we simply cannot afford that. So please chip in before our final FEC deadline before Election Day

They said the Central Valley wasn't winnable. Then came 20,000 grassroots donors, Bernie Sanders, Dolores Huerta, and a kid from Bakersfield who refused to take corporate money. Watch Randy explain what's really happening in CA-22.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors.
