DELANO, CA — Today, Dr. Jasmeet Bains was endorsed by EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, for California’s 22nd Congressional District. 

“Dr. Jasmeet Bains has been on the frontlines her entire career, taking on the tough fights to expand access to health care and address the challenges facing her community.  She has fought tirelessly to combat drug trafficking and led efforts to cut taxes for Central Valley’s veterans and working families. A family doctor, a community leader, and a state legislator who has championed the needs of the Central Valley, Dr. Bains is exactly the representative we need right now to stand up to Washington politicians like Rep. David Valadao, who is gutting health care access. EMILYs List is proud to endorse Dr. Bains for California’s 22nd Congressional District. We are thrilled to stand with her in the fight to flip this critical U.S. House seat.” said EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler. 

“I am beyond honored to receive EMILYs List support in my race for Congress, further demonstrating our campaign’s momentum. As the first Sikh American elected to California state office, running to be the first Sikh American woman representing my community in Congress and as a doctor, I take my oath to fight for women and health care seriously. Rep. Valadao has spent his time in Washington working to undermine Valley health care. In Congress, I will always fight to protect health care for women and families, said Dr. Bains.”

Dr. Bains’ campaign for Congress is also endorsed by AAPI Victory Fund, Elect Democratic Women, ASPIRE PAC, Healthcare for Action, FamMed Pac, NUHW, Delano Police Officers Association, SEIU California, IBEW Local 428, Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, eight members of the California Congressional Delegation, and dozens of community advocates and civic leaders. Last quarter, Dr. Jasmeet Bains set a record-breaking first-quarter fundraising total that outpaced every challenger in this district.
