VALADAO DID THAT: California Gas Average Rises to $6/Gallon

David Valadao continues to recklessly stand behind House Republicans’ economic agenda, which is rapidly accelerating the affordability crisis in the Central Valley.

In California alone, gas prices are now at nearly $6 per gallon, and the national gas average just hit $4 per gallon, the highest since August of 2022.
The sharp rise in gas prices comes as everyday Americans are struggling to make ends meet as everything gets more expensive. A recent CBS News YouGov poll found that 53% of Americans say President Trump is making people WORSE OFF financially. Even worse: 60% of Independents say Trump’s policies are making them WORSE OFF – up from 38% in October 2024.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“David Valadao ran on the promise that he would make life more affordable, but hasn’t done a thing to lower prices. This crisis is on phony moderates like Valadao who have completely refused to stand up for Californians as prices continue to rise.”
