Villegas unseats Valadao in California's 22nd, flipping redrawn toss-up district

Democrat Randy Villegas has defeated Republican incumbent David Valadao in California's 22nd congressional district, flipping a redrawn toss-up seat.

• Villegas, an educator endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Dolores Huerta, defeated six-term Republican David Valadao.
• The district, which stretches from Bakersfield to just west of Fresno, was California's only true toss-up after being redrawn under Proposition 50.
• Villegas ran on the rising cost of living, cuts to federal healthcare and immigration raids, and vowed not to accept corporate campaign donations.
• Villegas told supporters in Bakersfield the campaign had beaten the Democratic and Republican establishments and corporate PAC money.
