Representative David Valadao, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for California’s 22nd District, has taken to social media to express his positions on key issues. His recent tweets cover a range of topics from veterans’ benefits to international terrorism.
On February 21, 2025, Rep. Valadao highlighted issues with the Veterans Affairs (VA) claims process. He stated that it is “full of red tape,” which complicates access to benefits for veterans and their families. Valadao expressed pride in co-sponsoring the Simplifying Forms for Veterans Claims Act, aimed at streamlining the process to ensure fair and timely decisions for these families.

Later that day, Valadao addressed global concerns regarding terrorism and antisemitism. He declared that “terrorism and antisemitism have no place in our world” and called for an end to such acts of barbarism. He urged for the return of hostages and the eradication of Hamas while expressing sympathy towards Yarden Bibas during a tragic time. This message was posted here.
In another post on February 21, Valadao condemned the actions of Hamas terrorists following a brutal incident involving two young children, Kfir and Ariel Bibas. Describing them as having been “brutally murdered” with their bodies paraded through streets, he emphasized the horror witnessed globally due to these acts. More details can be found here.
