Today we celebrate our freedom. Two hundred and thirty nine years ago, delegates of the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, formally breaking ties with Britain to become a new nation.
Washington, DC – Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) voted for a measure last evening that rolls back the Environmental Protection Agency’s controversial “Waters of the United States” regulatory proposal. HR 1732, which passed by a vote of 261-155, prevents the EPA from implementing the rule and directs it to work with stakeholders on a new rule.
Washington, DC – Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) today issued the following statement on President Obama’s FY 2016 Budget released today.

Washington, DC – Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) today released the following statement after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry signed the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which could lead to further restrictions being placed on the gun rights of American citizens. For example, the treaty could effectively create a gun registry by requiring firearms shipped across borders to be tracked to end users and for a period of ten years thereafter.
Washington, DC – Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) today released the following statement in recognition of Constitution Day. Congress, by joint resolution of February 29, 1952, designated September 17 as “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day.”
Washington, DC – Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) has announced the introduction of “The Child Protection Act of 2013” (HR1690, “Hazel’s Law”), which he is cosponsoring with Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA). This bipartisan legislation closes a loophole in statutes barring sex trafficking of a minor by removing a “knowledge of age” requirement. While other criminal statutes involving exploitation of children do not have this requirement, sex traffickers have received shorter sentences after arguing that they did not know victims were underage.
Washington, DC – Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) today recognized the upcoming celebration of the National Day of Prayer on May 2, 2013 by delivering remarks on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
