Rudy Salas emphasized the importance of grassroots efforts, noting that ‘these elections really come down to just a handful of votes’. He urged volunteers to engage with voters.
During his campaign, Salas reminded supporters of his key achievements, including securing $100 million for the California State University system and Bakersfield College, to strengthen his position.
Analysis of Congressional District 22’s voting patterns reveals that while it leans Democratic on paper, the political landscape is complex, with many moderate ‘Valleycrats’ often electing Republicans.
In the 2022 election, Salas lost by a narrow margin of around 3,100 votes in a district where 43% of voters are registered Democrats, illustrating the competitiveness of local races.
