LaMalfa's closest political and personal allies are not ready to discuss that pending campaign yet. Assemblymember James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) held back tears as he remembered his friend and mentor and looked to the inevitable campaign to fill his vacancy.
California law requires a special election for a congressional vacancy to be held within 200 days of a proclamation for it.
Republican strategist Matt Rexroad calls Gallagher a front-runner to declare, although more Republican candidates will likely also seek the vacant seat.
Republican strategist Tab Berg said he would advise holding off on announcing a candidacy until after the special election date is set.
Lamalfa, a Republican, had held the seat for more than a decade.
This special election will use the current congressional maps, not the new Proposition 50 lines that voters approved in November, which are redrawn to favor Democrats.
However, the new Proposition 50 lines will be used for the 2026 congressional election, which will be in campaign mode at the exact same time.
