We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our dear friend and colleague, Rep. Doug LaMalfa. Doug was a devoted public servant who deeply loved the people of Northern California and never stopped working for them. He believed in this country, in our work, and in the responsibility we have to serve every constituent with care and humility. He was one of the kindest men to ever serve in this institution, and he will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with his wife Jill, their four children, and all who loved him.
