I look forward to continuing to work together to deliver a stable and secure water supply for California's 22nd Congressional District.
Continue working with others to deliver a stable and secure water supply for California's 22nd Congressional District.
Occurrences
I am requesting funding for the Delano Water Plant No. 2 Blending Tank Project in fiscal year 2027.
Evidence
"After nearly a year of work, I'm proud to announce California will receive $540 million to support critical storage and conveyance projects across the state... These funds... will restore capacity, strengthen reliability, and improve our ability to capture and deliver water supplies. I appreciate the Trump Administration's efforts to ensure these resources reach the communities that need them most, and I look forward to continuing to work together to deliver a stable and secure water supply for California's 22nd Congressional District."
"On Tuesday, I met with the Executive Director of Tri-County Water Authority, Deanna Jackson, to speak about challenges our communities face complying with Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requirements. Solving California's groundwater management challenges is one of my top priorities, and I'll continue working alongside my Congressional colleagues and local water authorities to enact long-term legislative solutions." The same newsletter also says he met with the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority to discuss water supplies and key water improvement projects.
Valadao said the 2026 Farm Bill "delivers real wins for the Central Valley" and includes "Reauthorizing USDA Rural Development water infrastructure programs that support clean drinking water, wastewater systems, solid waste disposal, and stormwater management in rural communities."
Assessments
Valadao has taken current-term federal actions consistent with the promise, including supporting Farm Bill water infrastructure reauthorizations, claiming work behind a $540 million California water infrastructure funding commitment, and coordinating with local water authorities on groundwater and supply issues. However, the evidence shows funding, advocacy, reauthorization, and coordination rather than a completed stable and secure water supply delivered for California's 22nd District. Because the promise is outcome-oriented but current evidence mainly supports material effort and incremental advancement, partial credit is appropriate.
