His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>After the shellacking that California Republicans took in this year’s midterm elections, many figures within the more pragmatic wings of the party establishment had \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/commentary/my-turn-california-republicans-missed-the-future/\">hoped\u003c/a> that the party would turn away from the divisive politics of President Trump and seek to become a more diverse coalition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the short term, the midterm election whittled away all the purple sections of the state now represented by the GOP, leaving only the scarlet-red core. With striking losses in Orange County and the Central Valley, the Republican Party’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704247/these-7-california-congressional-races-could-determine-which-party-controls-the-house\">diminished congressional delegation\u003c/a> will now represent a less diverse and less well-off subset of Californians and an electorate that was most enamored with the president. It will also be a much smaller portion of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, 26 percent of Californians are represented in Congress by a Republican. Next year, that number will fall to 13 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to the election, the average Californian living in a Republican-held district earned $65,634 per year. That’s slightly above the state average of $63,783. The average district was also slightly less educated than the state as whole (19 percent have bachelor’s degrees compared to 20 percent statewide) and significantly whiter (49 percent to 38 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\">http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results\">election\u003c/a> that cost them seven of their 14 seats, the GOP was driven inland, losing every seat that touches the Pacific Ocean and tossed out of its former stronghold in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party also lost the suburbs north of Los Angeles and — assuming Democrat T.J. Cox maintains his lead over Rep. David Valadao in Hanford — two seats in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so come January, when only half of the Republican delegation will return to Washington, D.C., the average income of the new, diminished GOP-represented electorate will be nearly $5,000 lower. It will also be majority non-Latino white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 16 percent of the population will have a college degree. And notably, every district in which less than a majority of voters supported Trump in 2016 abandoned the Republican brand this year. Only Trump country remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could make it all the more difficult for Republicans who want to rebuild the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the GOP’s broader electoral viability in California may depend on its willingness to disassociate itself from the politics of the president, the remaining Republican members of Congress — representing the most fiercely Trumpian corners of the state — may have little incentive to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://CALmatters.org\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

With striking losses in Orange County and the Central Valley, the Republican Party’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704247/these-7-california-congressional-races-could-determine-which-party-controls-the-house\">diminished congressional delegation\u003c/a> will now represent a less diverse and less well-off subset of Californians and an electorate that was most enamored with the president. It will also be a much smaller portion of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, 26 percent of Californians are represented in Congress by a Republican. Next year, that number will fall to 13 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to the election, the average Californian living in a Republican-held district earned $65,634 per year. That’s slightly above the state average of $63,783. The average district was also slightly less educated than the state as whole (19 percent have bachelor’s degrees compared to 20 percent statewide) and significantly whiter (49 percent to 38 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\">http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

House Democrats are projected to pick up enough GOP-held seats to take the majority in the House, according to The Associated Press. Senate Republicans are projected to maintain and perhaps expand their majority. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results create a divided Capitol Hill next year and mean President Trump’s plans for new tax cuts, tougher immigration legislation and changes to the Affordable Care Act will be blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared victory late Tuesday night and Trump called her to congratulate her on the win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have all had enough of division. The American people want peace; they want results; they want us to work for positive results for their lives,” Pelosi said at an election night celebration with top House Democratic leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after Trump’s concentrated focus on rallying in the final weeks of the campaign, Senate Democrats in several red states suffered projected losses. The GOP is poised to enlarge its majority by at least two seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans will maintain control of the Senate for at least two more years, after Democratic losses in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, North Dakota — states that Trump won by double digits in 2016. The president campaigned aggressively in those states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate GOP leaders capitalized on a battleground map that left Democrats defending 26 seats, including 10 in states Trump won in 2016. Now they must defend Trump’s hard-line rhetoric and policy on issues like immigration and trade, despite tensions within the party over those same issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was not on the ballot this year, but the midterm election was viewed as a nationwide referendum on his leadership. Now, leaders from both parties will pursue vastly different agendas on Capitol Hill. Democrats in the House vow to launch wide-ranging investigations into Trump, his business dealings and the transparency of his administration. Republicans in the Senate will continue to install more Trump nominees to the federal judiciary and defend the president and his policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s spokesman, Drew Hammill, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Drew_Hammill/status/1060031723096948736\">tweeted late Tuesday\u003c/a> about the phone call between the president and the House minority leader: “President Trump called Leader Pelosi at 11:45 p.m. this evening to extend his congratulations on winning a Democratic House Majority. He acknowledged the Leader’s call for bipartisanship in her victory remarks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A divided Congress is likely to extend the heated battles of the 2018 campaign into the presidential election in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/06/650521908/election-night-2018-live?post=early-vote-signals-highest-turnout-in-a-74\">Early vote data released early Tuesday\u003c/a> indicated that the electorate was younger and more diverse than in the last midterm election. Turnout levels were significantly higher across several demographic groups, and up in states with competitive Senate contests — Arizona, Texas and Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s impact played out differently in the roughly 80 competitive House races and more than a dozen close Senate contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>House battlefield hinged on contests in suburban and exurban districts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pinned their hopes for retaking the House on boosting turnout among women and minorities and wooing moderate suburban voters who were turned off by Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They focused on recruiting diverse candidates that might have once seemed outside the box for the party. That included gun owners and military veterans — and a lot of female candidates. The strategy was well-tailored to turn out voters for House seats, and a record number of women will be sworn in early next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the election also likely means Democrats will have to bridge the demands of a party that has grown to embrace progressives, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who won in a safely Democratic district in New York, while electing moderates like Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania, who won a special election earlier this year and won Tuesday in a reconfigured district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a Democratic caucus will test the power and influence of leaders like Pelosi, who plans to seek another term as speaker of the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has been criticized by a vocal group inside the caucus as being out of touch with her changing party and unwilling to provide opportunities to newer members. She was the subject of millions of dollars in Republican attack ads this cycle, forcing more than a dozen candidates to publicly vow not to support her for speaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That divide could make it difficult for House Democrats to unify around an agenda. There will be pressure from her most progressive flank to vote on proposals like a “Medicare-for-all” health care plan. But Pelosi has promised to focus first on government and campaign finance reform measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we win, on the opening day, our Democratic Congress will be open and transparent,” Pelosi said at an event Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans will have to battle an opposite trend. Many moderate members chose to retire rather than face tough re-election campaigns. With the bulk of the competitive races focused in suburban districts, GOP candidates and leadership aides worried the president’s tough rhetoric about immigration may have turned off women and independents in those areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan appealed to the president the weekend before the election to focus on the strong economy and benefits from the 2017 tax cut. While Trump did boast about these accomplishments, he continued to emphasize his push to crack down on the “caravan” — the group of Central American migrants heading toward the Mexican border with the United States. He also declared he would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/30/662043904/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\">end birthright citizenship with an executive order\u003c/a> — a proposal Ryan said would be unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House GOP leaders are expecting to oversee a more conservative conference next year, with many of their losses coming in seats held by centrists. That tilt to the right is likely to mean even more pressure by top leaders for members to stick together to vote on legislation that is closely aligned to Trump and his agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Senate races in mostly red states benefited from Trump focus\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11704502\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky talks to reporters after the Senate voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Oct. 6.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11704502\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky talks to reporters after the Senate voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Oct. 6. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats had faced a steep challenge as they fought to keep seats in states Trump won by double-digit margins in the worst battlefield for any party in modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just six Republicans were up for re-election; all but one of them ran in safely Republican states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats landed on a plan to allow each vulnerable Democrat to run an independent campaign without a unified platform. For example, Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota could stump on protecting farmers while Joe Manchin in West Virginia promised new health protections for coal miners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republicans had the advantage of simply reminding their base of all of the times Democrats voted against Trump. Heitkamp reached out to Trump White House officials and attempted to craft a bipartisan posture, but she voted against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. And other red state Senate Democrats running for re-election — Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Joe Donnelly in Indiana — did the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump personally played a significant role in tight Senate contests in the closing weeks of the election cycle. He traveled to Indiana, Florida, Montana, Nevada, Missouri and Mississippi — and in some cases landed in dramatic fashion aboard Air Force One to crowds of supporters enthusiastically cheering his red-meat speeches focused mostly on immigration and warnings about what Democratic control meant for his agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His visits included overt reminders to his base supporters that they weren’t just voting for any Republican on the ballot — they were voting for senators promising to back his priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want to raise your taxes, the Democrats do, restore crippling regulations, shut down your new steel mills, take away your health care, and put illegal aliens before American citizens,” Trump said in a closing rally in Indiana on Monday. “If you want more caravans, if you want more crime, vote Democrat tomorrow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A year of big money and big controversy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats benefited from a flood of donations to official party organizations and outside groups working on their side. Democratic candidates and their outside supporters are expected to spend more than $2.5 billion on this year’s election, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Republican candidates and their backers are on track to spend $2.2 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fundraising in 2018 far outpaced what is normal for a miderm election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both parties saw dramatic surges in donations that were closely correlated with national political events like the hearings on sexual assault allegations during the confirmation of Kavanaugh.

The GOP is poised to enlarge its majority by at least two seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans will maintain control of the Senate for at least two more years, after Democratic losses in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, North Dakota — states that Trump won by double digits in 2016. The president campaigned aggressively in those states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate GOP leaders capitalized on a battleground map that left Democrats defending 26 seats, including 10 in states Trump won in 2016. Now they must defend Trump’s hard-line rhetoric and policy on issues like immigration and trade, despite tensions within the party over those same issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was not on the ballot this year, but the midterm election was viewed as a nationwide referendum on his leadership. Now, leaders from both parties will pursue vastly different agendas on Capitol Hill. Democrats in the House vow to launch wide-ranging investigations into Trump, his business dealings and the transparency of his administration. Republicans in the Senate will continue to install more Trump nominees to the federal judiciary and defend the president and his policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s spokesman, Drew Hammill, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Drew_Hammill/status/1060031723096948736\">tweeted late Tuesday\u003c/a> about the phone call between the president and the House minority leader: “President Trump called Leader Pelosi at 11:45 p.m. this evening to extend his congratulations on winning a Democratic House Majority. He acknowledged the Leader’s call for bipartisanship in her victory remarks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A divided Congress is likely to extend the heated battles of the 2018 campaign into the presidential election in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/06/650521908/election-night-2018-live?post=early-vote-signals-highest-turnout-in-a-74\">Early vote data released early Tuesday\u003c/a> indicated that the electorate was younger and more diverse than in the last midterm election. Turnout levels were significantly higher across several demographic groups, and up in states with competitive Senate contests — Arizona, Texas and Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s impact played out differently in the roughly 80 competitive House races and more than a dozen close Senate contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>House battlefield hinged on contests in suburban and exurban districts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pinned their hopes for retaking the House on boosting turnout among women and minorities and wooing moderate suburban voters who were turned off by Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They focused on recruiting diverse candidates that might have once seemed outside the box for the party. That included gun owners and military veterans — and a lot of female candidates. The strategy was well-tailored to turn out voters for House seats, and a record number of women will be sworn in early next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the election also likely means Democrats will have to bridge the demands of a party that has grown to embrace progressives, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who won in a safely Democratic district in New York, while electing moderates like Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania, who won a special election earlier this year and won Tuesday in a reconfigured district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a Democratic caucus will test the power and influence of leaders like Pelosi, who plans to seek another term as speaker of the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has been criticized by a vocal group inside the caucus as being out of touch with her changing party and unwilling to provide opportunities to newer members. She was the subject of millions of dollars in Republican attack ads this cycle, forcing more than a dozen candidates to publicly vow not to support her for speaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That divide could make it difficult for House Democrats to unify around an agenda. There will be pressure from her most progressive flank to vote on proposals like a “Medicare-for-all” health care plan. But Pelosi has promised to focus first on government and campaign finance reform measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we win, on the opening day, our Democratic Congress will be open and transparent,” Pelosi said at an event Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans will have to battle an opposite trend. Many moderate members chose to retire rather than face tough re-election campaigns. With the bulk of the competitive races focused in suburban districts, GOP candidates and leadership aides worried the president’s tough rhetoric about immigration may have turned off women and independents in those areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan appealed to the president the weekend before the election to focus on the strong economy and benefits from the 2017 tax cut. While Trump did boast about these accomplishments, he continued to emphasize his push to crack down on the “caravan” — the group of Central American migrants heading toward the Mexican border with the United States. He also declared he would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/30/662043904/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\">end birthright citizenship with an executive order\u003c/a> — a proposal Ryan said would be unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House GOP leaders are expecting to oversee a more conservative conference next year, with many of their losses coming in seats held by centrists. That tilt to the right is likely to mean even more pressure by top leaders for members to stick together to vote on legislation that is closely aligned to Trump and his agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Senate races in mostly red states benefited from Trump focus\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11704502\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky talks to reporters after the Senate voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Oct. 6.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11704502\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/gettyimages-1050428988_custom-436c66f321dfc6de94984c8efb5ae95af30018d7-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky talks to reporters after the Senate voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Oct. 6. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats had faced a steep challenge as they fought to keep seats in states Trump won by double-digit margins in the worst battlefield for any party in modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just six Republicans were up for re-election; all but one of them ran in safely Republican states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats landed on a plan to allow each vulnerable Democrat to run an independent campaign without a unified platform.

Heitkamp reached out to Trump White House officials and attempted to craft a bipartisan posture, but she voted against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

Hernandez and a lot of young Latinos like her — many motivated, some less so — could be pivotal to what happens in this grape-growing region with a disappointing history of voter turnout.

Not far from the roadside shrine commemorating the Garcias, the United Farm Workers’ original adobe headquarters, “Forty Acres,” is now a national historic landmark — something few would have imagined in the late 1960s here in Kern County. A bronze plaque and other markers explain Delano’s place in a chapter of American history that still rankles some conservatives and divides people here even today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a five-year strike and a national boycott campaign for the UFW to obtain its first union contract in 1970 benefiting Mexican-American and Mexican and Filipino immigrant grape laborers.

Out of the 53 seats allotted to California in the House of Representatives, only 14 districts are held by Republicans in a state that’s been gradually turning deep blue for years now. Delano, 77 percent Latino, sits in one of the GOP pockets: the sprawling 21st Congressional District.

The district is also home to a smattering of small cities, Naval Air Station Lemoore, a major fighter base, and mile after mile of crops and dairy farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in midterm elections is usually tepid compared to presidential races.

If that happens, GOP California could shrink more and contribute to “flipping” the Republican-held U.S. House of Representatives to Democrats. But Valadao has not been alone in bucking the tide; neighboring conservative districts are held by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702053/the-nations-most-expensive-congressional-race-is-in-the-central-valley\"> rising conservative star Devin Nunes.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats would dearly love to do better here.

We don’t know if the next ICE pursuit will be for one our families,” said Bryan Osorio, 22, who grew up in Delano.

But my respect to you.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his canvassing rounds, Osorio secured a verbal pledge of support from an 80-year-old citizen relaxing in his rose garden.

Not all voters appreciated the students’ visits. As one of Osorio’s friends approached a house, he was met with: “I don’t vote.

Obamacare was a boon to many low-income residents here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district chose Democrat Hillary Clinton over Trump by more than 15 points in 2016, making it one of seven GOP-held Congressional districts where the Democrat prevailed. But even though Democrats in the 21st had an estimated 16-point registration advantage over Republicans, voters returned Valadao to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We share a history as the children of immigrant parents. We don’t know if the next ICE pursuit will be for one our families.” \u003ccite>Bryan Osorio, 22 who grew up in Delano\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Like the more nationally recognizable Nunes, Valadao, 41, comes from dairy-farming roots. A bank seized Valadao’s family farm in June due to $8 million in unpaid loans, a crisis Valadao said exemplifies the travails of farmers he serves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mild-mannered man, he recently posed in Arizona with President Trump, along with Nunes and McCarthy of Bakersfield, who hopes to vault from GOP majority leader to Speaker of the House if the GOP retains control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photo op on Oct. 19 was all about irrigation water — a massive issue here. It showcased Trump signing a memo accelerating biological reviews of water systems that Central Valley farmers — and workers — hope will divert more water from California rivers bearing endangered species. Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish. Some local Latino activists suggest that Valadao has benefited at the polls because some voters think he is of Mexican heritage. In reality, Valadao is of Portuguese descent, as is Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what gives Democrats hope for this election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s lacerating rhetoric about Mexican immigrants has upset a lot of people, so even if they regard Valadao as moderate, Trump has further tarnished the Republican brand in California. About 62 percent of the 21st district’s residents who are eligible to register to vote are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These immigrants risk their lives to work here,” said Mexican-American Erica Cruz, 48, a self-employed hairdresser whose husband used to be undocumented. “Latinos are getting picked on. This town thrives on Latinos…Trump is putting us in a terrible position and we’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s irksome to Cruz because it’s plain to her that the region’s agribusiness industry — America’s farm powerhouse — has benefited from people who shoulder all the risks that come with undocumented immigration. Workers have assumed the burden of paying smugglers thousands of dollars to get them over the border, so they can take back-breaking jobs they obtain by showing fake documents that employers have no obligation to authenticate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, it’s common for there to be no bright line between documented and undocumented in towns like Delano because there are many “mixed status” families, with some members citizens, others legal residents and still others who are undocumented, “sin papales,” without papers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703757\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703757\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Immigrant workers are the backbone of agribusiness in California’s 21st Congressional District and other GOP-held districts in the Central Valley.

Veronica Terriquez, who is a UC Santa Cruz associate professor of sociology, organized the Freedom Summer project. Research, she said, shows that kids are often “socialized” to vote and learn about candidates and issues within their family. The project is trying to address the absence of that socialization in Central Valley homes because so many kids’ parents aren’t citizens and either can’t vote or vote infrequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools, too, Terriquez said, don’t devote a lot of time encouraging voting. She said some Central Valley school administrators, worried about controversy, were initially hesitant to allow returning college students to talk with younger kids and conduct registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the high school students asked if there were concerns if she, a citizen, registered, and her parents were undocumented,” Terriquez added.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11697624/why-is-it-so-hard-to-engage-latino-voters-theyre-young-and-historically-neglected\">Why Is It So Hard to Engage Latino Voters?

Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish.

Turnout for the young demographic in the Central Valley was even lower at less than 7 percent, according to research by the California Civic Engagement Project at the University of Southern California’s Sacramento office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mindy Romero, director of the California Civic Engagement Project, said that beyond registration, cultivating turnout “takes deep, multiple contacts,” along with strategies that include “peer to peer” outreach and time spent in communities off the election cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what one nonpartisan group, Faith in the Valley, has been trying to do in five counties, including Kern, where Delano is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re shooting to speak to between 12,000 and 15,000 voters,” said Carmen Medrano, a regional organizer for the Valley group. “We’re not from a political party, we say. We’re here about issues, like affordable housing, fair rents, making sure immigrant families are protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Farm Workers are also active in the district, though they’re focused more on a state Assembly race. On their rounds, canvassers explain the union’s slate choices, which include Valadao’s opponent, TJ Cox. UFW member Nancy Oropeza, who’s working on the effort, said that canvassers have also left potted flowers with voters to remind them — when you water the flower, think about voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I don’t like people deported for no good reason.” — Veronica Lopez, 36, a medical technician\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The UFW assignment was to reach a universe in multiple towns of 16,000, face-to-face, who are Latino and infrequent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first thing we’ve been hearing from people we contact is: Trump, Trump. He attacks us,” Oropeza said. “Once they say, yes, they want to vote, you go back to ensure they’ve received their ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Delano’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, another influential institution in town — which has collaborated with the UFW to aid the orphaned Garcia children — Father Miguel Campos said the church doesn’t favor candidates in elections. But the church does believe that elections matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tell people,” he said, “that it’s a civic and Christian duty to vote.” Tomorrow he’ll find out whether they’re listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
