LIST OF GUESTS: |

U. S. Congressman
Wally Herger |
About Wally,
Wally was born in
Sutter County in 1945 and raised on a cattle ranch in the small
community of Rio Oso, located just south of Yuba City/Marysville.
His public service career began when he was elected to the East
Nicolaus School Board in 1976. In 1980, inspired by Ronald Reagan,
he made a successful run for the California State Assembly where he
served until his election to the House of Representatives in 1986.
Wally and his wife, Pam, are the proud parents of nine children, and
have nine grandchildren. Pam and Wally currently reside in Chico.
|
|
Wally is a third
generation rancher and small businessman from Northern California
who throughout his tenure in Congress has continued to advocate for
core conservative principles: a strong, secure America; a limited,
fiscally responsible government; low taxes and fewer regulations on
small businesses; and promoting traditional values. |
|
Wally is the
second most senior Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee,
an important committee that has jurisdiction over taxes, trade,
Social Security and health care. At the beginning of the 111th
Congress (2009), Wally was named the Ranking Member of the Ways and
Means Health Subcommittee, where he was a very vocal opponent of
President Obama's health care reform plan and advocated for
market-based solutions to reform health care without growing
government. He also maintained his seat on the Trade Subcommittee
from which he has continued working to eliminate foreign trade
barriers and open overseas markets for Northern California farmers
and ranchers. |

California
Senator Elect Doug LaMalfa |
About Doug
Doug LaMalfa is a
fourth generation rice farmer and business owner who has lived in
Northern California all his life. He and his wife, Jill, along with
their four children, Kyle, Allison, Sophia and Natalie make their
home on the family farm in Richvale. Doug attended local schools and
grew up learning the value of hard work and community service. Doug
earned his degree in Ag/Business from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He
now manages the family farming business originally founded by his
great-grandfather in 1931. |
|
An active leader
in Northern California agriculture, Doug was elected as a founding
director of the California Rice Commission from Butte County. Doug
also served on the Domestic Promotion Committee of the USA Rice
Federation. |
|
A conservative
Republican in word and deed, Doug LaMalfa has opposed increasing
taxes and is a stalwart defender of Proposition 13. With a proven
record of fighting on behalf of working families, Doug knows that
taxpayers know better than bureaucrats and politicians how to spend
and invest their own hard-earned money. He opposed the 2007 and 2008
budgets that have been proven shams that have resulted in
California’s current budget crisis. |
|
He has been a
strong supporter of private property rights inside and outside the
Capitol, authoring a Constitutional Amendment and helping place
three initiatives on the ballot to protect Californians against
eminent domain abuse. |
|
Water is our most precious natural resource and Doug LaMalfa
believes in protecting our water rights and developing more water
storage. He has continually advocated for increasing California’s
water supply, supporting planned projects such as Sites Reservoir.
Doug has been a leader in opposing burdensome environmental
regulations that place fairy shrimp and fish ahead of human needs.
In 2004, he was the only California Legislator invited to testify at
a Congressional Field hearing to restrict the overreaching federal
Endangered Species Act. |

District, which includes Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Modoc, Shasta,

Assemblyman

conservative and was appointed Vice Chairman of both the Assembly

Committee, and as a member of the Appropriations, Veterans Affairs,

two years of his State Assembly service Nielsen was part of the
Water Conference Committee which produced a water plan for
California that protects water rights for Northern California.

constituents' interests and values. He established himself as a
traditional, tough-on-crime conservative who champions the cause for
lower taxes, controlled government spending, private property
rights, and reforming state regulation. |
|
In 2010,
Assemblyman Nielsen sponsored a measure to save the Williamson Act,
which enables local governments to enter into contracts with private
landowners for the purpose of protecting agricultural uses such as
farming and ranching. |
