California State Senate holds moment of silence for Rep. Doug LaMalfa
Summary
Sen. Jones asked the Senate to observe a moment of silence for Rep. Doug LaMalfa, saying LaMalfa "passed ... in the hospital" after an emergency at home; the Senate plans a full adjournment in his honor in the coming weeks.
The California State Senate opened its floor session with a moment of silence after Sen. Jones asked members to remember Representative Doug LaMalfa, who Jones said "passed ... in the hospital, after an emergency at home."
Jones asked for the chamber's respect for the family and said the Senate will hold a full adjournment in LaMalfa's honor in the coming weeks. "Many of us may know that, we lost a great American and a great Californian earlier this week," Jones said on the floor.
The request was presented as a formal request for remembrance and the body observed silence. No further debate or formal action on the matter was recorded in the session transcript; the presiding officer moved the daily business forward after the observance.
