Proximo Launches Radio Ad Urging California Families to Tell Rep. David Valadao to Fight to Stop Costly Tariffs
“Two Thousand” highlights the rising costs facing Central California families and urges Rep. David Valadao to support legislation to end costly tariffs
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Proximo, a Latino-led 501(c)(4) nonprofit dedicated to empowering the Latino community with the knowledge and tools to shape what’s next for our democracy, today announced the launch of a radio advertising campaign in English and Spanish in Bakersfield and Fresno, California highlighting the rising costs facing California families and calling on Congressman David Valadao to take action to lower costs.
The 60-second radio ad, “Two Thousand,” focuses on the financial pressure California families are facing as they prepare for the new school year, with rising costs for gas, groceries, clothing, utilities, and health insurance.
The ad highlights Valadao’s vote on President Trump’s tax bill and his support for Trump’s tariffs that the ad argues are increasing costs for California families and putting farming jobs at risk.
The ad urges Valadao to support H.R. 8228, legislation that would stop the costly tariffs, and calls on him to stand up for California families.
