James Hill: “I rise in condolence to Jill LaMalfa and the LaMalfa family of…”

On the recordJanuary 12, 2026

I rise in condolence to Jill LaMalfa and the LaMalfa family of northern California, that beautiful area north of Sacramento, deep in the wilderness, home to Mt. Shasta. There was no better representation of the people of California than Doug LaMalfa. He was a gentle giant. I had so much fun with him over the years. He was such a committed person to his constituents, to the State of California, to public service, to his relationships on both sides of the aisle. He had deep respect. From the most liberal Democrat in California to the most conservative Republican down in Texas, they all loved Doug LaMalfa. He will be missed. Mr. Speaker, Martha and I share our condolences. We pray for the family at this tragic loss, but we are grateful for our friendship and service with Doug LaMalfa.
