Last night, Rep. John Duarte (CA-13) lost his re-election bid for Congress. In response, American Bridge spokesperson Matilda Bress released the following statement:
“John Duarte tried to trick voters into thinking he was a moderate – and California’s Central Valley didn’t buy it. From opposing a bill that lowers prescription drug costs to defending GOP extremists to repeatedly voting to block reproductive freedom, John Duarte showed his district he’ll always put the MAGA Republican Party above the people he serves. American Bridge is proud to have played a role in defeating this GOP congressman, giving Californians the representative they deserve.”
