Assemblyman James Gallagher

SHASTA COUNTY, CA (MPG) - Assemblyman James Gallagher announced Feb. 24 a broad and growing list of endorsements from leaders across Shasta County in his campaign for the California’s 1st Congressional District, following the sudden and tragic passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa.

Gallagher, who has represented much of the North State in the California State Assembly, said the outpouring of support from Shasta County leaders reflects a shared commitment to carrying forward Congressman LaMalfa’s legacy of service, advocacy for rural communities, and steadfast defense of constitutional freedoms.

“This is a pivotal moment for the North State,” Gallagher said. “We need someone ready on day one to defend our way of life, protect our water, secure our border, and rein in out-of-control federal spending. I am ready to serve and to continue fighting for the values that define our region.”

The Special Election for California’s 1st Congressional District will be held later this year. For more information about the campaign and a complete list of endorsements, visit www.ElectJamesGallagher.com.
