David G. Valadao has not publicly weighed in on In-person constituent town halls

David G. Valadao has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "In-person constituent town halls" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a Congressman representing a competitive district with 780,759 constituents and the highest Medicaid enrollment of any Republican-held seat, Valadao would be expected to hold open, in-person town halls where voters can ask unscripted questions about his votes and policy positions. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Valadao has not held in-person town halls during this period, instead conducting tele-town halls requiring advance registration. Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna and Jimmy Gomez both traveled to Bakersfield to hold town halls specifically because constituents reported frustration that Valadao and Rep. Vince Fong 'have not held town halls to engage directly with constituents.' Valadao defended tele-town halls, saying a recent call included 4,500 participants. When constituents gathered at his Bakersfield office to deliver petitions demanding he protect Medicaid, his staff refused to accept them and said no one was available.
