David Valadao Targets Vulnerable LGBTQ+ Communities, Votes to Defund LGBTQ+ Services

Today, Rep. David Valadao went out of his way to target vulnerable LGBTQ+ communities across the country. Valadao joined other MAGA extremists on the House Appropriations committee and voted to cut numerous projects that would provide housing and services to the LGBTQ+ community. The funding in question would have supported community centers, transitional housing, and senior housing services.

This bigoted attack on the LGBTQ+ community across the country is an absolutely despicable, discriminatory effort to strip funding for projects that would support some of our nation’s most vulnerable communities. David Valadao will be held accountable by Californians for his hatred and intolerance.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Valadao’s attack on the LGBTQ+ community is as hateful as it is wildly out of touch with his constituents. Californians want a leader who will work to build livable, welcoming and affordable places for their community, not bigots like David Valadao who attack our neighbors because of who they are.”
