California Election Results: 21st Congressional District
Don’t expect to see David Valadao invoking the president as he wages a tough, personal campaign to win back the Central Valley House seat he narrowly lost in 2018 to T.J. Cox, the Democratic candidate. Instead, Mr. Valadao has been portraying himself as a moderate Republican who can bridge partisan divides, while Mr. Cox has countered with a campaign tying his challenger to President Trump.
