Devin Nunes has made it clear that his position as Trump’s sycophant is more important than the people he was elected to represent. The people of the Valley don’t care about “alleged” misrepresentation in a FISA warrant.

The people of the Valley care about jobs.

We care about our Dreamers.

We care about our farmers having enough water and labor to pick their labor-intensive crops

We care that our depleting aquifer may no longer support all of us.

We care about the high rates of asthma in our children because of air pollution.

We care about the shortage of health care professionals in the valley.

We also care about how Nunes has made it clear that he doesn’t care about us.
