"California Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) has died, GOP leadership confirmed in a social media post Tuesday morning. "Jacquie and I are devastated about the sudden loss of our friend, Congressman Doug LaMalfa. Doug was a loving father and husband, and staunch advocate for his constituents and rural America," said Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the House majority whip, in an X post. "Our prayers are with Doug's wife, Jill, and their children.""
"LaMalfa, 65, was a rice farmer from Oroville and staunch Trump supporter who had represented his Northern California district for the past 12 years. His seat was one of several that was in jeopardy under the state's redrawn districts approved by voters with Prop 50. LaMalfa's death reduces the GOP's already slim House majority to 218-213. This story is developing."
