California's 1st Congressional District consists of 11 predominately rural counties in the northernmost reaches of California. 1^st District residents enjoy pristine federally protected lands perfect for hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting. The district is home to a large student population at Chico State. CA-01 is represented by one of the most extreme Republicans in Congress, Rep. Doug LaMalfa. He defended Donald Trump’s remarks comparing white supremacists and neo-Nazis to the people that protest them, and he’s consistently opposed equal rights for LGBT Americans. In 2013, he voted to cut nutritional assistance for hungry families with children while protecting the farm subsidies he personally benefits from.

Congressman LaMalfa has consistently voted against Medicaid, yet:

• 41% of the children in CA-01 are on Medicaid or CHIP, and
• 22% of the adults in CA-01 are on Medicaid

Congressman LaMalfa has consistently voted against the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps families in need provide healthy food for children and seniors, yet:

• 29,217 households in CA-01 receive SNAP, and 23.2% of them have a senior 60 or older in the household and 56.3% of them have a child under 18

Congressman LaMalfa voted dozens of times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, even though it has contributed to a substantial increase in the number of insured CA-01 residents:

• Drop In Uninsured Rate Thanks to the Affordable Care Act in CA-01: 54.7%, from 15.9% to 7.2%
• Number of CA-01 Residents Covered Under the ACA’s Medicaid Expansion: 73,600
• Number of CA-01 Residents Covered Through the ACA’s Marketplace Under Covered California: 21,800

Congressman LaMalfa has accepted $13,500 from the NRA.
