On the DREAM Act, David Valadao is All Hat and No Cattle

If he’s serious about doing “everything in his power” to help DREAMers, why won’t he push his party to vote on the DREAM Act?

DCCC Spokesperson Drew Godinich released the following statement:

“Congressman David Valadao is all hat and no cattle – telling his constituents that he’ll do ‘everything in his power’ to help DREAMers, and then refusing to sign a bipartisan petition to force a vote on the DREAM Act – the very act he already co-sponsored. David Valadao is more interested in garnering positive headlines for his re-election than serving the people of the Central Valley or keeping his word to the voters who put him in office.”

  • Despite representing a district that went for Hillary Clinton by 16 points, David Valadao has voted along with Donald Trump 98% of the time
