Randy Villegas is a Central Valley educator, school board member, and community advocate running for Congress in California’s 22nd District. Raised in a working-class family and shaped by the challenges facing many families in the San Joaquin Valley, Villegas has spent his career focused on expanding opportunity through education, community investment, and public service.
As an educator and elected school board member, Villegas has worked directly with students, parents, and local communities to improve educational outcomes and strengthen public schools. His experience in the classroom and in local government has given him firsthand insight into the economic pressures facing working families throughout the district.
Villegas first gained regional attention as a grassroots organizer and community leader focused on issues affecting the Central Valley, including education, healthcare access, economic opportunity, and environmental health. His congressional campaign grew from those community relationships and was built around direct voter engagement, volunteer organizing, and local advocacy.
His campaign is focused on:
• lowering costs for working families
• expanding access to affordable healthcare
• strengthening public education
• protecting Social Security and Medicare
• supporting good-paying jobs and workforce development
• investing in Central Valley infrastructure and water resources
• improving economic opportunities for rural and working-class communities
Throughout the campaign, Villegas has emphasized the importance of local leadership and ensuring that Central Valley communities have a stronger voice in Washington. His message centers on practical solutions, economic security, and creating opportunities for future generations.
As Democrats work to rebuild support among working-class and Latino voters across the Central Valley, Villegas represents a new generation of community-centered leadership focused on delivering results for the families who call CA-22 home.
Education changed my life. Now I’m paying it forward to the next generation.
