Gallagher takes the oath of office

Today, Congressman James Gallagher was sworn in as the representative for California’s First Congressional District.

A lifelong North State resident, farmer, attorney and former Assembly Republican Leader, Gallagher took the oath of office ready to fight hard for the people he has proudly served for more than a decade after winning last week’s special election.

“I’m honored to step into the role of my friend and mentor, the late Congressman Doug LaMalfa, and excited to get to work for the North State in Congress,” said Congressman Gallagher. “My pledge to the people of the First District is that I will work tirelessly to represent them, always willing to listen, putting the people first, being a strong voice for our rural communities, and standing tall for the values we hold dear: faith, family, and freedom.”

Gallagher’s focus is on making life more affordable for North State families through lower taxes, fewer regulations and expanded energy production; protecting our communities from crime; defending individual liberty and supporting our farms and small businesses against excessive government interference; securing our borders; and championing the rural values that define our region.

Gallagher was joined by his family, Jill LaMalfa, and supporters for the swearing-in. A district celebration is planned for next week.
