Democrat Randy Villegas wins election to U.S. House in California's 22nd Congressional District
Democrat Randy Villegas won election Wednesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing California's 22nd Congressional District, defeating Republican incumbent David Valadao. Villegas is a progressive who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders. He overcame concerns among some Democrats that he would be seen as too liberal for the district in California’s Central Valley. In the primary, national Democrats backed a rival with ties to the party establishment. The Associated Press declared Villegas the winner at 1:17 p.m. EST.
