GOP Lawmaker Already Has Three Challengers

January 27, 2021 · 10:36 am ET · Leave a Comment

Fresno Bee: “The only California Republican who voted to impeach President Donald Trump earlier this month already has three challengers planning bids to unseat him next year, including a Republican who said he’s running because of the impeachment vote.”

“The early interest signals a tough reelection campaign for Rep. David Valadao (R) who defeated Democratic Rep. TJ Cox in November to win a southern San Joaquin Valley district where Democrats outnumber Republicans.”
