What voters need to know

Democratic and NPP voters likely to vote in the June primary need to know that Dr. Jasmeet Bains is the Democrat who has what it takes to protect Valley families from Donald Trump and David Valadao. 

1. The daughter of immigrants, Dr. Bains has spent her career caring for the people Trump and Valadao are hurting the most. As Assemblymember, she fought insurance companies to help more families get the medical care they need. 

2. In Congress, Dr. Bains will protect our communities from Trump’s lawless actions and restore the Medi-Cal funding that Valadao voted to cut. She’ll make health care more affordable by expanding Medi-Cal, not taking it away.  

Local firefighters, nurses and frontline workers all back Bains for Congress because she fights for the Valley. 

Democratic and NPP voters also need to know that Randy Villegas can’t be trusted to protect the Valley.

As a member of the Visalia School Board, Villegas helped cover up multiple cases of sexual abuse against children, approving secret, multi-million-dollar legal settlements that were intended to “keep the community in the dark forever.”

That was one of 5 taxpayer-funded secret settlements — totaling nearly $15 million — that Villegas’s school board approved, including one for the crimes of a repeat sex offender who was re-hired by the district after being fired for misconduct.
