Early life and education
Valadao was born and raised in Hanford, California. His parents are Portuguese immigrants (original spelling Gonçalves Valado); his father grew up on the Azores Islands. Valadao said his parents were initially registered Democrats but then shifted to the Republican Party in a 2013 interview.
Valadao graduated from Hanford High School in 1995. He attended the College of the Sequoias in Visalia from 1996 to 1998, but did not graduate.
Personal life
Valadao and his partner Terra and their three children live in Hanford. Valadao consistently rank as the poorest member of Congress by net worth, owing to mainly loans to his family's dairy farm during his first stint in the House.
Agriculture career and bankruptcy
In 1969, Valadao's father established a dairy farm in Kings County, California. Valadao Dairy co-founders David Valadao and his brother were partners in 1992. He has served on the California Milk Advisory Board, Western States Dairy Trade Association, and Land O' Lakes' Regional Leadership Council Chairman.
Valadao, a general partner of Triple V Dairy, was named in two lawsuits against the dairy for defaulting on almost $9 million in loans and failing to pay a supplier in March 2018. A bank confiscated the dairy and sold it off to pay its debt in June 2018. "Like so many family dairy farms around the country, tighter government regulations made it impossible for the operation to remain open," Valadao said. Valadao has decided to pay $325,000 to former employees who said they were denied breaks, minimum wage, and overtime compensation following a complaint in 2019. Due to Valadao and Triple V Dairy's bankruptcy filings, the settlement was not paid.
