California’s 22nd congressional district

A tight political fight is underway in the South Valley. Republican David Valadao and Democrat Rudy Salas are facing off for a House seat for the second time.

Valadao is a Hanford native and served in Congress for five terms, focusing on water, the Farm Bill and public safety. In a new mandate, he says he wants to tackle the economy and the borders.

Salas is a native of Bakersfield, where he served on the city council and then the state Assembly for 10 years.

He wants to entrust this work to Washington.

This race is a rematch of 2022, when just 3,000 votes separated Valadao and Salas.

This matchup has national significance as House Republicans fight to maintain their narrow majority.

Proposition 32: Increase the minimum wage

Californians are taking their paychecks into their own hands at the polls on Election Day by voting on Proposition 32.

It would increase the minimum wage from $16 to $18 an hour. Proposition 32 would not apply to independent contractors or self-employed workers. Since some cities already have higher minimum wages, this would have no impact on them.

Proposition 33: Rent control

Rent control is a term Californians are familiar with, but for nearly three decades, state law has placed limits on rent control ordinances.

Voters will decide whether local governments should have the power to expand rent controls if they choose. Not all cities in California have rent control, so Proposition 33 aims to address this problem.

Cities can restrict the amount a landlord can raise each year, but they cannot control rents for single-family homes, nor for housing built after 1995, nor can they tell landlords how much they can charge a landlord. new tenant.

Proposition 36: Increase penalties for theft, drug trafficking

California’s Proposition 36, which would increase penalties for certain crimes, was expected to pass Tuesday’s election.

With more than 36% of ballots counted, the measure was ahead by a margin of 70 to 30, according to the California secretary of state’s office.
