Early this morning, Congressman Doug LaMalfa returned home to the Lord. He leaves a lasting legacy of service, leadership and kindness to the North State. His humor and work effort are legendary - with one reporter once saying he’d look in the backyard of every BBQ just to see if Doug was there visiting.
Congressman LaMalfa cared deeply for the people he served and worked tirelessly to hold the government to its word, to fix our forest mismanagement, build water storage, and leave people to be free to choose what is best for themselves. His tragic and unexpected passing leaves a deep impact on many. He leaves behind his amazing wife, Jill, four children, one grandchild, two sisters and a hosts of cousins.
