"Figures from across the nation and political spectrum expressed shock and sorrow Tuesday over the sudden death of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, the Butte County Republican who'd represented California's 1st Congressional District since 2013. He was with us right from the beginning, said President Donald Trump of LaMalfa, a reliable MAGA ally whose death leaves the GOP with a tenuous 218-213 margin in the U.S. House of Representatives."

Congressman Doug LaMalfa died suddenly, leaving a long-serving Republican seat and narrowing the GOP majority in the U.S. House to 218-213. President Donald Trump called LaMalfa a reliable MAGA ally and noted his longstanding support. Governor Gavin Newsom ordered flags at the Capitol to fly at half-staff and praised LaMalfa for fighting every day for Californians with conviction and care. Photographs and captions show LaMalfa at town halls, on the House floor, at the House Agriculture Committee, and working on his rice farm. LaMalfa's district is noted as endangered by redistricting under California's Proposition 50.
