Bakersfield, CA – Congressman Vince Fong released the following statement on election night results showing Proposition 50 passing:

“As a result of Gavin Newsom’s campaign of misinformation and lies, millions of Californians will be left without representation in Congress. If Prop 50 has shown us anything, it is that Gavin Newsom is so desperate to be president that he is willing to steamroll the state constitution and rural communities in pursuit of his personal ambition.

Our efforts to bring common sense to California will not stop—I will continue standing up to Gavin Newsom and be a fierce advocate for the millions of forgotten Californians who have had their voices silenced. The fight for California is just beginning—and I am all in.”
