California has six competitive congressional districts that could determine which party controls the House of Representatives next year. In the lead-up to the November election, the Political Breakdown team will cover each of these races in a series called “Balance of Power.” Today, Scott and Marisa discuss the 22nd congressional district in the Central Valley… where Republican incumbent David Valadao is once again facing former Assemblymember Rudy Salas. They’re joined by reporter Joshua Yeager, who covers Kern County and the Southern San Joaquin Valley for KVPR.
