June 2 top-two primary

See also: California's 22nd Congressional District election, 2026 (June 2 top-two primary)

Ballotpedia identified the June 2 top-two primary as a battleground primary. For more on the top-two primary, click here.

Incumbent David Valadao (R), Jasmeet Bains (D), Eric Garcia (D), Rudy Salas (D), and Randy Villegas (D) are running in the top-two primary for California's 22nd Congressional District on June 2, 2026. As of March 2026, Valadao, Bains, and Villegas led in endorsements, fundraising, and local media attention.

The election is taking place in the context of redistricting, which changed the district lines from those used in 2024. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said the new lines "would make it easier for Democrats to dislodge Valadao, who has frustrated them for years by overperforming the top of the ticket. But this district, too, is trending Republican...Expect this district to remain a battleground in 2026 regardless of the map."

CalMatters' Maya C. Moore said the primary "embodies the larger tug-of-war within the party over how Democrats can win back the voters they lost in 2024 — by playing to the middle, as successful gubernatorial candidates did in New Jersey and Virginia last fall, or by adopting a progressive brand of economic populism, which fueled Zohran Mamdani’s rise to the New York City mayor’s office."

Valadao was first elected to the House in 2012. He lost re-election to TJ Cox (D) in 2018 and defeated Cox in 2020. Valadao is a dairy farmer. Valadao says he is running "to be an independent member of Congress who will stand up to the divisive partisanship in Washington D.C., get things done to grow our local economy, and deliver more water for our farmers and communities."

Bains is a physician and the chief medical officer for the Central Valley on the California Medical Assistance Team. Bains was elected to the California Assembly in 2022. Bains says she is running because "we deserve better than broken promises and backroom deals...Valadao just voted to gut Medi-Cal that provides 68% of the affordable healthcare in our community."

Villegas is a professor of political science at College of the Sequoias. Villegas was appointed to the Visalia Unified Board of Education in 2021. Villegas says he is running because "[t]his is a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party...We have to ask ourselves: Are we going to be a party for the billionaires, or are we going to be a party for the working class?"

In a top-two primary, all candidates for a particular office appear on the same ballot. The top two finishers—regardless of partisan affiliation—advance to the general election. The Democratic Party of California voted not to endorse any candidate. As of March 2026, the Republican Party of California had not endorsed any candidate.

As of March 2026, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Toss-up, while Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales rated it Tilt Republican. Valadao defeated Salas 53.4%–46.6% in 2024 and 51.5%–48.5% in 2022.

---

Valadao said he had a record of accomplishment in office including introducing two bills during the 2021 legislative session expanding access to water in the district, cosponsoring legislation improving healthcare access for veterans, and leading "a bipartisan group in Congress to pass the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN Act)" in 2016.

Bains said she had been motivated to help her community all her life. She said she was running "because we deserve better than broken promises and backroom deals, and our communities are tired of getting left behind. We deserve a representative who will actually show up, and stand up, for the Valley."

---

Bains ran on her record in the Assembly. Her campaign website said she had secured more than $20 million in funding to counter drug trafficking, led efforts to open a University of California medical school in Kern County, cut taxes for veterans and working mothers, and voted against increasing taxes on gas.

---

Bains said Valadao's votes in Congress had harmed the district. She said Valadao "voted to gut Medi-Cal that provides 68% of the affordable healthcare in our community, jack up prescription drug prices, and cut off food assistance for thousands of hardworking folks."

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

Villegas said he understood the district's concerns, with his website describing him as "a son of the Central Valley, growing up in a working-class immigrant family." Villegas said he was running "to stand up for hard working families who are working hard but falling through the cracks, struggling to find jobs that pay a living wage and afford health care costs."

---

Villegas said he had a record of accomplishment on the Visalia Unified Board of Education including raising graduation requirements, expanding funding for tutoring, updating facilities, and saving more than $6 million.

---

Villegas said both Valadao and Bains did not have the district's best interests at heart. A Villegas campaign ad displayed images of both Valadao and Bains as Villegas said, "My opponents, Democrat and Republican alike, have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the same corporations that are ripping us off, making our healthcare, housing, and groceries more expensive. Politicians in both parties are working for the same corporations that are putting their profits ahead of us."

• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
