James Gallagher Biography
Elected to the California State Assembly in 2014, Assemblyman James Gallagher is honored to represent the residents of the 3rd Assembly District. The district includes Butte, Tehama, Yuba, Sutter, Glenn, and Colusa Counties. As a newly elected legislator, James has already been recognized for his leadership by his selection as Deputy Republican Floor Leader.
James has an extensive resume of public service prior to his election to the State Assembly. For the last six years, he has proudly served his community as a member of the Sutter County Board of Supervisors. During his tenure there, he worked on a multitude of regional committees which have given him exposure to numerous issues facing his constituency. His leadership and outside-the-box thinking helped in implementing public pension reform, streamlining public services and fees, and heading the effort to improve our levees and protect citizens from devastating floods.
James is especially proud of his successful effort to stop a plan to build the Cherokee Canal bypass, which would have taken thousands of acres of productive agricultural land out of production. He also led the fight to reform federal floodplain regulations that impose burdensome insurance premiums and building restrictions on Sacramento Valley businesses and family homes.
James earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree at UC Berkeley, where he was Editor-in-Chief of The Patriot, a nationally recognized conservative news magazine, and was elected to the student senate. Upon graduation, he served in the prestigious Assembly Fellowship Program in Sacramento. During the program he gained experience in state government, and worked on issues ranging from increasing timber harvest to improving our community college system. Upon completion of the fellowship, he obtained his law degree from UC Davis, graduating at the top of his class. Gallagher is a partner in his family’s farming business as well as a practicing attorney, focusing on agricultural law.
James is married to his high school sweetheart Janna, and together they have three young children. He is the sixth generation of an Irish immigrant farming family that first settled in Sutter County in the late 1800s. James and Janna make their home in Sutter County where they are raising the seventh generation of Gallagher’s.
