  • The "Stop the $100 Billion Bullet Train to Nowhere Act" would have prevented issuance of future High-Speed Rail Bonds.
  • QUOTABLE: "Government gun confiscation schemes are being called “buybacks”, which implies that the government owned them to begin with." (Facebook, 9/4/2019)
  • RIP: "A fierce champion on California water issues. He was great on water. A true defender of American children. He was a defender of everybody. And our hearts go out to his wife, Jill and his entire family." - President Donald Trump
  • RIP: "Doug LaMalfa was a one of a kind, humble and dedicated public servant. I’m lost and can’t imagine life, public service or politics without Doug. His focus was always on the people of his district and the American values he cherished so deeply. There was no one who took the job of “representative” more seriously than Doug. He traversed the district, going to every dinner and community event. He demanded answers from bureaucrats. He pushed hard for the things his people needed. He waited til the very end of every State of the Union so he could talk to the President, Republican or Democrat, about his district. My condolences and love are with Jill and the entire LaMalfa family - including his staff and advisors who were treated like family.  We’ve lost a great one and it hits hard." - Assemblyman James Gallagher
  • RIP: "Doug LaMalfa was the kindest and most sincere person I have encountered in more than 40 years of public service. Our nation, our state, and our community have all suffered an irreplaceable loss and rural America has lost its most indefatigable and effective advocate. My heart goes out to his family." Congressman Tom McClintock
