| Collapse all
The grandson of immigrants, John is proud to call the Valley home. John is rolling up his sleeves and running for Congress because his experience has taught him that when a problem needs to be solved, you solve it. He sees what’s happening to the Valley and has decided to quit complaining and be part of the solution. Basic necessities are becoming unaffordable for our Valley’s working families – John sees his friends and colleagues unable to afford gasoline, groceries, and rent because of Washington’s out-of-control spending and anti-American energy policies. Our canals are running dry and our farmers are suffering because career politicians are flushing the water we need out to the ocean. Our communities are less safe every day as deadly drugs and gangs steal precious lives across our small towns.
John loves the Valley and knows what a blessing it is to live in a beautiful and hardworking community. He has had enough of career politicians – who don’t understand our values and way of life – leaving us behind. He is tired of elected leaders who view the Valley as a ticket to greener pastures rather than as their home. John wants to see every family in the Valley reach its full potential and our Valley to be a place of abundance for all of us.
- Lower Cost of Living
- Protect our Water and Farms
- Secure the Border
Lowering the cost of living, protecting our water and farms, and securing the border

Campaign website
Duarte's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
You deserve gas, housing, and food that you can afford You deserve to thrive, not just survive. Out-of-touch career politicians have put the needs of big corporations and special interests before us. They have driven prices sky high with reckless spending. Working Valley families are being forced to choose between food on the table and gas in the tank. As your Congressman I’ll do the right thing – I’ll vote to suspend the gas tax and cut fuel and food prices.
We need water for our farms. As a farmer and a businessman here in our Valley, I know how important water is to our working families and our family farms. The politicians talk about making sure we have enough water, but at the end of the day, they’ve gotten nothing done. Career politicians have looked out for big donors and special interests on the Coast, while our canals run empty. We’ve had enough empty talk, we need real results.
Rising violence and crime are making our kids less safe. Now, gated-community career politicians even want to ‘Defund the Police.’ No way. I’ll put your safety first. I’ll fight against the ‘Defund the Police’ crowd. I’ll work hard to make sure our kids are safe in our schools and public spaces. And I’ll make sure our homeless get the help they need.
Washington politicians are taking our water, raising prices on everything, and slapping unfair laws on small business owners. They are making it harder to find a good-paying job, harder to open a small business, and harder to get ahead. As a local farmer and businessman, I know what it’s like to build a business from scratch and to hit some bumps along the way. I know that if we make sure we have lower prices, more water, and fairer laws, we’ll have good-paying Valley jobs for everyone.
Every child – no matter what challenges they face – deserves an environment that welcomes and supports them. They deserve teachers that make sure that when they graduate, they are prepared to thrive. As your Congressman, I will work hard to get schools back to basics and make sure that every student has the support they need in the classroom. I support school choice so our kids can find an environment that meets their needs.[2] |
