Who is my U.S. representative in CA-01?
Your CA-01 representative is James Gallagher (Republican). He won the June 2, 2026 special election to fill the seat left vacant by Doug LaMalfa's death in January 2026. A quick note on context, since it's a bit unusual: CA-01 is also set to be redrawn under California's new congressional map (from Proposition 50), effective for the term starting in January 2027 — so there's a separate regular election happening this November 2026 for the next term, in addition to this special election that just filled the current vacancy. Gallagher is running in that race too. CA-01 currently covers northeastern California counties including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, and Tehama, plus most of Yuba County — largest cities being Chico, Redding, and Yuba City.
