LaMalfa (R-CA) today voted against a measure setting federal funding for the coming fiscal year. \u00a0\u00a0\n\u201cAfter careful consideration, I voted against the government spending measure that failed to take action against the President\u2019s executive amnesty plan and included a number of nonbudget items. Having thoroughly reviewed the bill, I felt that there were too many elements of the package that were not adequately discussed and were not directly related to funding government operations,\" continued LaMalfa.\u00a0\"Congress should have more fully considered these elements, and I have been clear in my belief that we must act to defund the President\u2019s amnesty plan.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\n\u201cWhile Congress is grappling with these issues, the North State is experiencing flooding that is affecting homes, businesses and families. My first steps in working with the incoming Republican Senate will be to address our needs for water storage and flood control infrastructure, tackling the President\u2019s amnesty plan and continuing to reduce federal spending and regulations.\u201d\nDoug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California\u2019s First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://lamalfa.house.gov//media-center/press-releases/rep-lamalfa-opposes-budget-measure"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.226840006187558, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
