David G. Valadao

His campaign says government agencies should serve every American rather than bureaucrats, and that members of Congress should be transparent and accessible, spending their time in the community rather than with lobbyists and insiders in Washington.

    Randy Villegas: Matches stated record claim

    His campaign's home page says it takes no corporate PAC money. His committee's filings for the 2025-2026 cycle through June 30, 2026 list 80 contributions from other political committees on line 11C, totalling 190,098.36 dollars, three transfers from two joint fundraising committees on line 12, totalling 57,917.02 dollars, and nothing from party committees. The FEC records an organisation type for nine of the contributing committees, five labour organisations and four membership organisations, and none as a corporation. The rest are leadership PACs, other candidates' campaign committees and PACs with no sponsoring organisation. The joint fundraising committees' own itemised donors passed through to him are individuals and two political committees, neither recorded as a corporation's PAC. Limit: The test is the FEC's own record of each contributing committee: a PAC a corporation sponsors is registered with organisation type Corporation, and none of his is. The leadership PACs and other members' campaigns that gave to him can take corporate PAC money themselves, which the claim does not address, and spending by outside groups is not money his campaign received. The record runs to June 30, 2026; the October quarterly report is not yet due.
