LaMalfa Receives Award for Conservative Excellence
(Washington, DC) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after the American Conservative Union (ACU) presented him with their Award for Conservative Excellence. The award is given to members of Congress whose voting record in the first session of the 115th Congress demonstrates a commitment to advocating for conservative values in the House of Representatives.
LaMalfa said: "Growing up in Northern California, our views are typically very different from those that live in the Bay Area, and those views are often ignored by our liberal-dominated state government. I'm pleased to once again receive this award based on my conservative track record last year, including votes to repeal the collapsing Obamacare law, defund Planned Parenthood, and provide once in a generation tax relief for millions of Americans. I'll continue to advocate for conservative values in Washington on behalf of Northern California."
A spokesperson for the ACU said: "We applaud Rep. LaMalfa for his continued support of conservative values and working to achieve commonsense conservative solutions for the people of California."
Congressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.
