Early this morning, Congressman Doug LaMalfa returned home to the Lord. He leaves a lasting legacy of service, leadership and kindness to the North State. His humor and work effort are legendary - with one reporter once saying he’d look in the backyard of every BBQ just to see if Doug was there visiting.

Congressman LaMalfa cared deeply for the people he served and worked tirelessly to hold the government to its word, to fix our forest mismanagement, build water storage, and leave people to be free to choose what is best for themselves. His tragic and unexpected passing leaves a deep impact on many. He leaves behind his amazing wife, Jill, four children, one grandchild, two sisters and a hosts of cousins.

President Trump ordered a decisive operation aimed at disrupting a narco-terror regime responsible for years of harm to the United States. Nicolás Maduro is the head of a criminal network that pushes illegal drugs into the United States, harming or taking countless American lives.

Today’s surgical strike was an amazing display of American military power and precision. I am grateful no Americans were lost in the operation.

Today’s actions send a clear message to the world and those who seek to challenge America, that we aren’t going to make the mistakes of the past. We are putting the best and most lethal in charge- not those who would call our adversaries to “give them a heads up”. I look forward to further briefings on the raid and what the President’s plans are for the next steps for securing the western hemisphere from further crimes against freedom loving people.

What’s at stake in Potter Valley is not an abstract policy debate. These proceedings are the difference between farms staying in business or shutting their gates for good. Cutting off this water would cripple agriculture across the region, put federal assets at risk, and make an already tough drought and wildfire situation even worse. Reliable water from these reservoirs is critical not just for farming, but for fighting wildfires that threaten homes, businesses, and lives. After meeting with USDA officials and some bipartisan colleagues, I appreciate Secretary Rollins and the Trump Administration for stepping in and demanding FERC take these real-world consequences seriously before moving forward.

Washington, D.C.—Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) applauded action by the Trump Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to intervene in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proceedings involving the Potter Valley Hydroelectric Project.

A recent audit of California’s federal programs found the state “did not materially comply” with requirements for 6 of the 13 programs reviewed, failing to meet basic federal standards on nearly half of the programs examined. The audit also found deficiencies in accounting and administrative practices that weaken internal controls over compliance.

This isn’t a minor paperwork issue. It’s a clear sign that state leadership isn’t properly managing federal dollars that are supposed to be used responsibly. That falls squarely on the Democrat politicians running the state, showing just how far accountability has slipped in Sacramento.

Congress and the Administration need to hold California accountable for these failures.

I was pleased to see the House pass H.R. 845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act, which delists the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act. Gray wolves are an apex predator being inflicted upon the people and the wildlife of Northeast California and the West. There are wolves that are encroaching on elementary schools in Siskiyou County. This is not a little red riding hood story. This is not a made-up deal. This is very real, and they’re coming closer and closer to town.

Even as wolf populations continue to expand, outdated federal protections under the Endangered Species Act have stripped away the tools needed to manage them. The ESA was meant to help species recover, not keep them permanently listed long after recovery goals are met. The gray wolf is a clear example of how the law has drifted from its original purpose, and it’s time to delist them. Rural Californians are tired of being victimized by these federal and state regulations.

Gray wolves have recovered across the lower 48, but federal protections are still preventing states from managing populations responsibly. That leaves ranchers, pets, and families at risk. The Pet and Livestock Protection Act puts common sense back in wildlife management and delists the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act.

Hear directly from Northern Californians about why this legislation matters for their families and farms.
