I am honored to be able to reflect a little bit on the life and the service of an extremely dedicated Member of Congress, Doug LaMalfa. I served northern California alongside Doug from the day that he was sworn in to this body. We shared many of the same challenges and worked together on issues that matter deeply to the people that we both served. I was proud to work with him on bipartisan efforts to support our farmers and ranchers, to strengthen wildfire prevention, to build Sites Reservoir, and to address the growing home insurance crisis facing families across all of northern California. He and I worked together to deliver over $500 million in tax relief to fire victims in our district that lost their homes... He was caring, and he was a terrific fighter for the folks that we worked for in delivering this. He believed in practical solutions, and I always respected and appreciated his collaboration on the issues important to our constituents.
