Candidate Statements
Candidate Statements are excerpted from the statements provided to election offices, where available.
Josh Harder
- U.S. Representative
- Democrat
- Economy: “Right now too many people are stuck in traffic driving to good-paying jobs hours from home. And too many young people are leaving the Valley because they don’t believe we have enough opportunities.”
- Health Care: “It’s too hard to find care and too expensive to get the care you need. At the same time, insurance executives are getting rich while our families have to choose between prescriptions and putting gas in the tank.”
- Public Safety: “Brought home millions in federal dollars to fund a special task force to fight methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking in the Valley and hire new police officers, buy new police cars, and stand up state of the art public safety equipment.”

Kevin Lincoln
- Mayor, Stockton
- Republican
- Economy: “I will be both a vote and a leading voice for a responsible new fiscal approach that reduces our nation’s debt, lowers consumer costs and promotes job creation.”
- Border Security: “The Biden administration has ignored both our national police shortage, and our open border crisis that is flooding our communities with deadly fentanyl. I will vote to support, not defund, our law enforcement community, and to secure our border so we can make Valley residents safer.”
- Agriculture: “[Washington] puts special interests and bureaucracy ahead of supporting our local farmers and ranchers. We must protect our local agricultural economy by protecting Valley water, and by cutting endless and burdensome regulations.”
