California’s congressional delegation renews call for federal aid on anniversary of wildfires

On the one-year anniversary of the Southern California wildfires, elected officials from Los Angeles County and across the state renewed their calls for additional federal disaster aid to help communities impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires continue to recover.

U.S. Sens. Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, along with every U.S. House representative from California, sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Jan. 7, urging him to request Congress to pass additional supplemental aid.
