David G. Valadao
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide V000129.
David G. Valadao is the Republican representative for the House from CA, district 22 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is 0.256, drawn as economics +26. That is right of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.439, drawn as authority +44. The other axis sits toward authority. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 223 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Republican median in this chamber (0.53). The nearest other House scores are Jennifer A. Kiggans (Republican, 0.264), Young Kim (Republican, 0.264), Tom Cole (Republican, 0.323). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://valadao.house.gov), under “Agriculture,” says: “I will continue working to promote legislation to strengthen agricultural programs, increase job opportunities, lower food cost, and ensure our farmers have…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how David G. Valadao would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide V000129.
