Your current U.S. representative for CA-22 is David Valadao (R), who has represented the district since January 2023 (and previously represented the old CA-21 from 2013–2019 and 2021–2023). The district covers most of Kings County and parts of Tulare and Kern counties in the San Joaquin Valley, including the east side of Bakersfield, parts of Tulare, part of Hanford, and all of Porterville, Lindsay, Shafter, Wasco, Delano, McFarland, Arvin, Lamont, and Corcoran.

A couple of things worth flagging:

Redistricting: California redrew its congressional district lines ahead of the 2026 elections after voters approved a redistricting measure, so the CA-22 boundaries used in the 2026 election differ from those used in 2024. If you're near the edges of the district, it's worth double-checking your exact address against the new map.

2026 election: Valadao is running for re-election, facing Democrats Jasmeet Bains and Randy Villegas in the primary, which was held June 2, 2026. The general election is set for November 3, 2026, so who represents CA-22 next year could change.
