Canvassing in CA-21

Posted on District CA-21 TJ Cox by Molly Huber · July 16, 2018 4:50 PM

Canvassing Opportunities are Available in District 21

New volunteers are paired with an experienced partner who can take the lead while you learn the ropes. An easy-to-follow script is provided, making knocking on doors a breeze. Canvassing is primarily about solidifying our supporters so that they come out to vote and so we only visit houses with registered Democrats or no party preference.

RSVP for October 13:
CA-21, to Sanger

RSVP for October 27:
CA-21, to Selma

RSVP for November 3:
CA-21, to Sanger

Republican David Valadao

Posted on District CA-21 TJ Cox by Molly Huber · July 08, 2018 1:43 PM

David Valadao

 

Background On Opponent David Valadao

  • Valadao has been in congress for 5 years, has collected hundreds of thousands in taxpayer-funded salary and has charged taxpayers for thousands worth of travel
  • Valadao voted for the Republican healthcare bill, which would cost you more for less coverage and eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions
  • Valadao voted for a giveaway to big banks that will make another housing/financial crisis ore likely while letting banks gamble with your money
  • Valadao has consistently voted against Medicare, supported gutting the program and raising the eligibility age
  • Valadao said he was against Trump, but after Trump won Valadao held a fundraiser at a Trump property
  • Valadao talks a big game when it comes to immigration, but he has yet to actually deliver on his promises to fix our broken immigration system

It’s a miracle Congressman Valadao is still in the House. This is the most Democratic district in California represented by a Republican, and it’s not even close. Clinton beat Trump by more than 15 points in this district, and Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans here. Valadao voted against protecting LGBT Americans from workplace discrimination, and he’s consistently voted for cuts in the Medicaid program despite almost half of his constituents depending on it for their health care needs. It should come as no surprise that he’s afraid of his constituents, as he’s refused to hold a town hall this year.

Congressman Valadao has consistently voted against Medicaid, yet:

  • 64% of the children in CA-21 are on Medicaid or CHIP, and
  • 33% of the adults in CA-21 are on Medicaid

Congressman Valadao has consistently voted against the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps families in need provide healthy food for children and seniors, yet:

  • 46,566 households in CA-21 receive SNAP, and 16.8% of them have a senior 60 or older in the household and 82.8% of them have a child under 18

Congressman Valadao voted dozens of times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, even though it has contributed to a substantial increase in the number of insured CA-21 residents:

  • Drop In Uninsured Rate Thanks to the Affordable Care Act in CA-21: 52%, from 25.4% to 12.2%
  • Number of CA-21 Residents Covered Under the ACA’s Medicaid Expansion: 115,600
  • Number of CA-21 Residents Covered Through the ACA’s Marketplace Under Covered California: 15,800

Congressman Valadao has accepted $49,200 from the NRA.

Volunteer to Help Flip the CA-21

Commit to Flip Blue is partnering with Working America to flip California’s 21st congressional district.  CA-21 is in the San Joaquin Valley, the southern half of California’s Central Valley.  The
district includes all of Kings County, and portions of Fresno County, Tulare County,
and Kern County.  It is one of the largest congressional districts in the state.
Approximately 700,000 people live and work in the district.

By the Numbers:        through 1/24/2018

Shifts:                         1063 (298 of which were volunteer shifts)

Knocks:                      51,060

Conversations:            28,380

Members:                   19,859

Actions taken:             12,923

Our most recent staff canvass in CD 21 (Mendota) netted amazing results:  195 convos and 186 joined last Friday 1/19.  CD 21 is receptive to our canvass! 

On February 24, we’re organizing a canvass in Coalinga (it’s the closest spot to the Bay Area and quite reachable for folks in the South Bay).  Will you join us? 

Here’s the skinny on travel time and there’s even places to stay à https://www.kayak.com/hotels/Coalinga,CA-c19130/2018-02-23/2018-02-24/2adults?sort=rank_a – but you can share driving and make it back and forth in a day.

  • 2 ¾ hours from Oakland
  • 2 ¾ hours from San Jose
  • 2 hours 50 minutes from downtown San Francisco

The travel time is shorter for our volunteers in Salinas or Monterey area because they can head south on Hwy 101:

  • 1 hour 50 minutes from the Labor Council office in Salinas (Monterey-Santa Cruz LC)
  • 2 hours 13 minutes from Watsonville

Sign up online for any of our canvases (CD 10 or CD 21) à https://www.workingamerica.org/centralvalley/volunteer .

And you can sign up directly for the Coalinga canvass here  à https://actionnetwork.org/events/volunteer-with-working-america-cd-21
