REDDING, Calif. - North State Congressman Doug LaMalfa toured Simpson University’s new Science and Nursing Center this week, visiting with President Robin Dummer.

LaMalfa, a Republican from Richvale, has been representing the first congressional district of California in Washington, D.C., since 2013.

“We were grateful for the opportunity to show the new facility to Congressman LaMalfa and for a following conversation regarding federal regulations affecting Simpson University,” Dr. Dummer said. “We appreciate the support he indicated on several of these issues.”

Last month, California Sen. Ted Gaines and Assemblyman Brian Dahle also toured the newly completed $6.5 million building. Their visit included a discussion about the importance of the Cal Grant student financial aid program.
