Vince Fong

Vince Fong was elected to serve in the United States House of Representatives on May 21, 2024, with great pride to serve the 20 th Congressional District of California, which encompasses parts of Fresno, Kern, Kings, and Tulare counties, including Bakersfield, Clovis, Hanford, Lemoore, Ridgecrest, Rosamond, Springville, Taft, Tehachapi, Tulare, and Visalia.

Born in Bakersfield, Vince knew that he wanted to positively affect the region that he has always called home. Vince began his career in public policy with Congressman Bill Thomas, Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, working on international trade policy to open up markets for our nation’s farmers and small businesses. After returning to Kern County, for nearly a decade, he served as the district director to House Majority Leader and Congressman Kevin McCarthy, where he managed public policy issues for the region, worked to promote local job creation, made commonsense reforms, and fought to improve the quality of life for our neighbors and families. He helped organize the Valley Fever Symposium, bringing the issue into the national spotlight and convincing leaders in healthcare to conduct research and find solutions to a growing problem.
