Doug LaMalfa is either ignorant of or indifferent to the people in California Congressional District 1. A case in point: In a July 2nd call to LaMalfa’s Redding office, when asked if he or anyone in his office knew how many people in this district receive Medicaid/Medicare, the person who answered the phone said that they did not have that information. (It is approximately 300,000 people – almost 50% of the people in the district.) When asked…

My guess is you were talking to Erin Ryan. She is poorly informed on many subjects that are quite relevant to our County (Siskiyou, CA). She knows virtually nothing about science. From my observations of her behavior when she visits Siskiyou County, she seems to be collecting little more than catchy talking points that she can take back to her boss (LaMafia) so he can regurgitate them as something he knows locals will want to hear. LaMalfa is another poorly informed individual who has some serious conflicts of interest with the ranchers and farmers of Siskiyou County. LaMafia is a Rice Farmer who uses thousands of acre-feet of water annually for his rice crops, which a large multiple of what other similar sized orchards use. He needs more water that he hopes will come from our share in Siskiyou County… He’s not a genuine friend to our County, and his cohorts here make lots excuses for his lack of results for our County. I fully agree with the author of this article, LaMalfa MUST GO, along with Erin Ryan. Here is an article that was published by Benzinga in 2019 about LaMalfa and his lame ideas: https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/19/08/r14338973/rancher-logger-author-and-naturalist-william-e-simpson-ii-disagrees-with-dois-plan-of-burning-amer
Excellent opinion piece. LaMalfa votes his conservative ideology not what best for the people in our district.
Very well written article: Doug LaMalfa has never represented anyone but himself. Being reelected over and over to congress is a sweet deal he will never walk away from: being a politician is far too lucrative. Politicians like Mr LaMalfa have learned the art of mouthing familiar cliches, never really engaging in detailed policy discussions about what would benefit the blue collar working people of the north state. Why we keep electing wealthy elites like LaMalfa has more to do with a clever system of sophisticated propaganda than the real interests and needs of the north state .
