California Republicans face weighty vote over House budget resolution

Republicans representing swing congressional districts in California
— including Reps. (R-Hanford) and (R-Anaheim Hills)
— must decide whether to support their party’s agenda at whatever cost,
or face potentially disastrous blowback in their home communities for agreeing to cut Medicaid.

In Valadao’s 22nd congressional district in particular, 67% of the population is on Medi-Cal, as Medicaid is known in California
— the highest percentage in the state, according to the UC Berkeley Labor Center.
