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.”
