CA-01: State Senator Mike McGuire (D) announces candidacy in upcoming special election for Congress

CALIFORNIA - On Friday, California State Senator Mike McGuire announced his candidacy for the special election in California's 1st Congressional District.

The election aims to fill the remaining term of the late Congressman Doug LaMalfa, who died after suffering a medical emergency on January 6, 2026.

"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."

McGuire is also running in the regularly scheduled election for the full term in California's 1st Congressional District.
