David Goncalves Valadao (/ˌvæləˈdeɪoʊ/VAL-ə-DAY-oh; born April 14, 1977) is an American politician and dairy farmer serving as the U.S. representative for California's 22nd congressional district since 2023. His district comprises part of the San Joaquin Valley. A member of the Republican Party, Valadao first won election in 2012 in California's 21st congressional district, defeating Democratic nominee John Hernandez.[1] He was reelected in 2022, defeating Democrat Rudy Salas. Before his election to Congress, Valadao served one term in the California State Assembly, representing the 30th district from 2010 to 2012.
Valadao was one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump during Trump's second impeachment[2][3][4] and one of two of those Republicans to be renominated and reelected, along with Dan Newhouse (WA-4).
