Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-California) has died, according to House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minnesota). He was 65 years old.
The seven-term congressman represented a district that encompassed much of Northern California’s interior. His district was redrawn last year, taking it from a safely GOP seat to a Democratic-leaning one, as a result of California’s redistricting to counter Republican gains in Texas and across the country.
