It's official, per CNN projection: DCCC-backed Jasmeet Bains won't advance from the #CA22 primary. Republican Rep. David Valadao will face Randy Villegas, a Democrat backed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Huge drop from Kern County. The CD22 lines in Kern overlap @DrJasmeetBains Assembly District and @Villegas_CA22 just expanded his lead in the County to 578 votes, setting the District margin to 2,454. Valadao continues to drop in percentage. Huge news for Dems in November.
Tío Bernie wants YOU to get out and vote for Randy! 🗳️
We are honored to have his support in this crucial moment to really bring about change in the Central Valley. Election Day is tomorrow, find your polling location or drop-box here: https://t.co/msVjtuL9Ti

Nurses support @Villegas_CA22 for Congress because he will:
✅ Roll back Trump's Medicaid cuts,
✅ Champion #MedicareForAll, and
✅ Fight for the working people of California.
@DrJasmeetBains shame on you and your super PACs for using misleading ads that are exploiting survivors’ trauma and suffering for political gain.
Do better.
@Villegas_CA22@DrJasmeetBains Bains is desperate and disrespectful, she should know better. Most things in politics are fair game, this is beyond disgusting.
My top priority on the School Board has always been the safety and well-being of the school community, and I stand by my record of public service.

Mi principal prioridad en la Junta Escolar siempre ha sido la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestra comunidad escolar, y respaldo mi historial de servicio público.
I’m proud to be one of the first to endorse @Villegas_CA22 for CA-22.
He is the only candidate for Medicare for All and against corporate money. We need him in Congress.
NYT: Bernie Sanders said in an interview that at 84, his days as one of the defining faces of progressivism in America are numbered, so he is working to help elect as many like-minded allies as possible up and down the ballot, from county commissions to the Senate.
“By the time I’m 104 and serving my 8th term in the U.S. Senate — that’s a joke,” Mr. Sanders said, pausing for effect. “Yes of course, we’re building a movement for the future.”
This is what happens when you don't take corporate $. You go to every community forum/ debate you're invited to, and you knock on the doors of democrats, republicans and independents every free minute you have. Villegas is a real one.
NEW POLL ALERT! 🚨
We are leading in the race by 4%! 🙌🏽
This is a testament to all the hard work and support from our communities. I look forward to meeting voters on the campaign trail and continuing to show up for everyone!

My DMFI/Israel-lobby backed opponent Jasmeet Bains walked back her claims that Israel is committing genocide and now a super PAC used to funnel AIPAC money is spending on her behalf.
Jasmeet Bains has repeatedly refused to protect the interests of the Central Valley. When we fought back to Stop Trump rigging our Democracy, she was the only Democrat to vote No, voting with Republicans and siding with Trump.
I am the only candidate ready to stand against Trump and David Valadao. Let’s get this done. ✊🏽
