Central Valley voters are tired of scraping by to make ends meet. We need a leader in Congress who will fight relentlessly for working families, not billionaires. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Will the economy motivate voters? This Central Valley swing district could be a test
The 22nd District is one of fewer than two dozen toss-up races nationwide that will likely determine which party controls the U.S. House in the second half of President Trump’s term.

Over a month ago I challenged David Valadao to a series of debates so he could finally face his constituents after turning his back on us to give tax breaks to billionaires. Today, he accepted part of my challenge. I’ll see him on the debate stage with @kgetnews.bsky.social on October 6.

AI is advancing faster than our laws can keep up, putting our workers, environment, and children at risk. Congress must act now to regulate AI and ensure innovation never comes at the expense of our jobs, safety, or future. www.cnn.com/2026/09/14/u...

Former OpenAI employee: ‘Yes, AI might really kill us all’ | CNN
Multiple former and current AI employees are warning of the dire risks posed by unregulated AI development. CNN speaks with an ex-OpenAI employee about what the government can do to avoid worst-case scenarios. Meanwhile, Anthropic says it blocked the possible development of bioweapons using AI, and Scott Galloway says this moment says more about “mediocre leadership” than it does about the threat of AI.

I'm running to lower costs for people like you and me, and we can do that by making sure that billionaires pay their fair share.
Hello, my name is Randy Villegas. When I say I'm running to lower costs, this is what I mean. Quote from Courier California Article: "“When I get to Congress, I actually want to fight for legislation that’s going to make the first $70,000 of income taxes tax-free for every American across this country. And how are we going to do that? By making sure billionaires and centimillionaires in this country pay their fair share. I’m focused on giving working families a break, not billionaires and corporations like Valadao is.”

I'm running to support small businesses, because I know what it's like. That's why I'm not taking any donations from corporations. I'm fighting for the local shops of my community run by my neighbors, not the billionaire CEOs who buy our politicians.
Courier California. Randy Villegas runs for Congress in the Central Valley. I’m a small business owner myself, and I want to cut red tape for small businesses—but I won’t fight for big corporations getting tax breaks and buying influence through PAC checks. It’s blatant corruption, and Valadao is the perfect example. 

The same politicians who take money from PG&E and SoCal Edison tell us they can’t do anything to lower utility bills.

Central Valley residents have raised concerns about data centers’ impacts on land, water, electricity costs and our communities. I share these concerns. That's why I support a moratorium on new data centers while Congress sets new standards that put working families first.
I'm Fighting For The Central Valley, Not Silicon Valley. That's why I'm calling for a moratorium on Data Centers for one year minimum.That means: Making Big Tech pay. Data centers should pay the full cost of the electricity, grid improvements, and other infrastructure they require. Those costs should never be passed on to working families through higher utility bills. 
Protecting our water. In the Valley, we know water is precious. Any new data center should come with a commitment to closed-loop cooling systems to avoid wasting gallons and gallons of water or polluting local water resources. 
Guaranteeing good-paying local union jobs. Data centers should be built by American workers and local union labor here in the Valley. Before a single shovel hits the ground, workers should have a seat at the table. 
Investing in our communities.  Revenue from data center development should help fund our local schools, technical and apprenticeship programs, and workforce training – particularly for workers whose jobs could be disrupted by AI.  
Protecting our privacy and putting guardrails on AI. The technology these facilities power cannot come at the expense of our personal information, our jobs, or our economic security. Congress needs strong rules governing how corporations collect and use our data and deploy AI.
