Randy Villegas is making headlines as an antiestablishment candidate. He aims to unseat Rep. David G. Valadao in California’s 22nd District. This effort is exploring new strategies.
Villegas, a Democrat, campaigns vigorously in Bakersfield and beyond. His approach tests longtime assumptions about defeating a Republican incumbent in the San Joaquin Valley.
Democrats have tried multiple mainstream candidates over the years. Their goal has been to end Valadao’s influence in this agriculturally rich area. Villegas’s entry marks a significant shift in tactics.
