My Take
Doug LaMalfa interests me less for his politics than for the unusual shape of his life. A rice farmer from Oroville, California who became a Republican congressman representing nearly all of interior Northern California from 2013 until his death in office in 2026, he carried the literal soil of his district into the halls of Washington. I have a soft spot for public figures who come from genuine working backgrounds rather than pure careerism. Whatever one thinks of his votes, a man who knew the weight of a harvest before he knew the weight of a gavel deserves a quiet measure of respect from me.
