"We need more fighters like Doug LaMalfa in the Capitol.  Family values advocates can count on Doug when it comes to supporting traditional marriage and parental rights," said England. 

Noting LaMalfa's strong character and integrity both under the capitol dome and in the public arena, England continued, "Those of us who watch the Legislators at work regularly know Doug stood tall as a consistent leader and outspoken voice for families speaking up for Prop 8, Prop 22 and helping to lead the charge locally to repeal intrusive bills like SB 777.  Rather than some politicians who cower on the sidelines, you can count on Doug LaMalfa being in the fight."

While a member of the Assembly, LaMalfa spoke often at public events and in Northern California media in support of statewide initiatives and local efforts supporting traditional marriage and parental rights. 

LaMalfa thanked England "Karen and her team have been a pleasure to work with as we've stood together to vigorously fight back on the anti-family ideas that flow out of this legislature.   Being bold on pro family issues instead of skirting them due to political pressure is an important priority to me.  Sound families are the key to a healthy nation and its future."

The 4th Senate District spans 12 counties in northern California from Siskiyou and Del Norte on the Oregon border to Placer County in the south.  Doug LaMalfa is a fourth generation rice farmer and business owner who represented much of the district when he served in the Assembly from 2002 to 2008 and is well known throughout the area.
