The National Association of Home Builders, a national interest group that represents over 140,000 members in the
home
construction industry, has endorsed David Valadao (R) for reelection in California's Twenty-First Congressional
District in
the 2018 midterm election.
"Rep. Valadao has made housing and home ownership a top national priority and understands that expanding
housing
opportunities for all Americans is essential to the economic and social well-being of our nation," said Randy Noel,
chairman
of the National Association of Home Builders.
"We are proud to endorse Rep. Valadao for reelection in November because he helped to shepherd the landmark
tax reform
bill through Congress that will put more money into the pockets of hard-working families, reduce the tax burden
for small
businesses and promote job and economic growth," Noel said.
Recent polls show Valadao holding an 11-point lead over Democratic challenger T. J. Cox.
