Rep. LaMalfa Sworn in for Seventh Term, Looks Ahead to a Promising 119th Congress

Washington, D.C.—Today, Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) was sworn in for his seventh term as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing California’s 1st Congressional District. With a Republican majority in the House, Senate, and the White House, Rep. LaMalfa is optimistic about the chance to advance legislation that supports rural areas, strengthens forest management, and ensures that energy remains affordable and sourced right here in America.

“This Congress is a fresh start for America,” said Rep. LaMalfa. “With Republicans leading both chambers of Congress and the White House, we have an opportunity to focus on what really matters for rural America— returning common sense to government by reducing spending, removing illegal immigrants, and bringing consumers prices down on energy. Plus, we’ll focus on needed actions for keeping American Farmers producing and thinning our overgrown forests. We’ve got everything it takes to get things done right here at home. We can’t afford more policies that drive up energy costs and leave us dependent on foreign food, foreign building supplies, or foreign energy. We need to prioritize American workers and American families.”

Rep. LaMalfa emphasized his commitment to practical reforms. “Whether it’s addressing wildfire risks, ensuring prosperity in rural areas, or making sure energy is affordable again, there’s a lot of work ahead. I’m ready to get to work for the people I represent and I’m hopeful we’ll see real progress this session.”

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is Chairman of the Western Caucus and a lifelong farmer representing California’s First Congressional District, including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba Counties.
