Meet the Industry’s Legislative Allies: U.S. Representative David Valadao (R-CA)

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

An appreciation for the automotive hobby began early for former U.S. Representative David Valadao (R-CA). He grew up racing and riding off-highway vehicles on sand and on his family’s dairy farm with his brothers. He is a lifelong resident of California’s Central Valley and is still actively involved in the family’s two dairies and farms. Prior to being elected to Congress, Rep. Valadao served in the state legislature where he was enlisted in the SEMA-supported State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus. Rep. Valadao is running to reclaim his former U.S. House seat in 2020.
