Wally Herger to announce retirement; LaMalfa to run for his seat

After a quarter century representing the north state, U.S. Rep. Wally Herger will announce today he is planning to retire at the end of his current term and state Sen. Doug LaMalfa will be running for his seat.

“Senator LaMalfa is running for Congress, and will do so with the endorsement of Congressman Herger,” GOP consultant Dave Gilliard told Jon Fleischman of Flash Report, an influential California political blog.

Sources told the Record Searchlight late Monday LaMalfa is first expected to announce his entrance to the Congressional race to his staff in Sacramento before announcing his retirement to the public later in the morning. A similar meeting is to be held in Washington among Herger’s staff members, sources said.

Members of Herger’s campaign staff couldn’t be reached for comment Monday night. LaMalfa declined to comment earlier Monday when asked about the reports.
