State Senator Mike McGuire announced his campaign for Congress in the upcoming special election for California’s 1st Congressional District, to fill the remainder of Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s Congressional term.
“The hardworking folks of the North State deserve representation that fights every day and delivers for good rural jobs, our hospitals and health centers, high quality public schools and the unique needs of rural communities,” McGuire said, “The stakes for this country are too high and we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. I’m all in to deliver for the North State. Every damn day.”
