Veterans’ Services
Doug LaMalfa claims he is concerned with protecting veterans’ health, but when he says, “We’ve known for years that the VA is in dire need of reform…” he is misleading us. He is actually promoting privatization of VA health. Veterans and military families are satisfied with their health care. Privatizing the VA will only benefit insurance companies and wealthy investors.

Health Care Access and Cost
Health Care Access and Cost
Doug LaMalfa talks about improving healthcare, but consistently votes to cut Medicare and eliminate the cost savings and expanded protections provided under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Weakening the ADA will make health insurance more expensive. Despite claiming to be concerned, Doug LaMalfa has never made a proposal that will increase the quality of healthcare and reduce its cost.

Good Paying Jobs
Good Paying Jobs
Average wages in CD1 are only 70% of the California average. All eight counties entirely within CD1 rank in the bottom half of California health outcomes.
Doug LaMalfa has done nothing to improve our economy. What he has done is vote against increasing the minimum wage so many dedicated, hard-working people earn less than they deserve.

Social Security and Medicare
Social Security and Medicare
Doug LaMalfa says he will support Social Security and Medicare, “… while also guaranteeing that future generations have the ability to control and plan for their eventual retirements.” Those words are intentionally misleading; he wants to privatize Social Security.
He voted to cut Medicare and wants to privatize Social Security. He’s not one of us.

Economy

Doug LaMalfa claims he is concerned about the economy. However, in Congress his votes cut taxes for the wealthiest by 20%, exploded the Federal deficit, cost nearly 6,000 people in CD1 their medical insurance, and threaten Social Security and Medicare.
Doug LaMalfa says he is one of us, but in Congress he jeopardizes our economic future.
