District 1 — U.S. House of Representatives

Doug La Malfa
United States Representative, 1st Congressional District
Party Preference: Republican

America’s middle income families, workers and small businesses are struggling to make a better life. Meanwhile, our nation faces serious threats from terrorism. The values I learned growing up on the family farm are needed in Washington. I’m working hard to bring those North State values to Congress.

As your representative, I have: Passed legislation in the House of Representatives to protect north state water rights and build new water storage, including Sites Reservoir. This project means jobs and water for Northern California. Voted for significant tax reductions for Families, Small Businesses & Farms. I’m honored to be endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer’s Association. Worked to reduce debt and waste and bring balance to the federal budget. Voted to strengthen our military, increase America’s national security and help our veterans get the care they deserve. Fought to repeal Obamacare and reign in out of control federal bureaucrats such as the EPA and IRS while stopping tax-hikes on gas and families. Wrote legislation to properly designate the Tule Lake internment camp a National Historic Site. Passed a law to transfer surplus government land to a productive community use.

Government cannot and should not do everything and is a big part of the problem. Certainly, more government is not the solution. I'd be honored to receive your vote. Thank you. Please visit www.DougLaMalfa.com or call me at 530-712-3675.

Jim Reed
United States Representative, 1st Congressional District
Party Preference: Democratic

I am a Democrat who leans libertarian on social and international issues. I am committed to saving Social Security & Medicare.

I will fight to bring Federal funding to our District to repair and improve our crumbling infrastructure, including high speed internet which will allow our private companies to compete with other parts of the State. I know how to balance the budget and pay for these infrastructure repair costs. As a taxpayers’ advocate, I know where the tax loopholes are that give special interest groups tax rates at half of what others pay. Our corporations, making enormous profits overseas on the sale of products after getting tax breaks in the US to develop those products, should be paying tax on those profits. I also know that if we go back to having a self-sufficient military (soldiers cooking for soldiers, soldiers repairing & maintaining military equipment, etc.) instead of using high paid independent contractors, we can save billions and provide our veterans with skills they will have upon leaving military service.

We also need to solve the student debt problem and make higher education more affordable. We need to reform election finance and repeal Citizen’s United. We need a representative like myself with an engineering background who respects science and will protect the environment. We need a representative who will work for the people of the District, not just himself. We need to stop the talk & gridlock and act now.
