Vulnerable Republican Congressman David Valadao (CA-21) supports Congressman Paul Ryan for Speaker of the House, saying earlier this month that “[Paul Ryan] has his priorities right.”
But this week Paul Ryan promised he wouldn’t bring up immigration reform as Speaker, an issue vital to Valadao’s 74% Latino Central Valley Congressional District.
“By supporting Paul Ryan, Congressman Valadao has put the final nail in the coffin for immigration reform,” said Barb Solish of the DCCC. “Central Valley families have had enough of Valadao’s empty promises and will hold him accountable at the ballot box.”
