"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. Their latest plea came a month after Gov. Gavin Newsom sent a letter to congressional leaders in both parties requesting nearly $34 billion in additional funding."
"The governor and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, meanwhile, attended various Southern California events marking the anniversary on Wednesday. This included a tour of Palisades Charter High School and a visit to a temporary memorial exhibit curated by the Department of Angels. They also met with survivors of both the Eaton and Palisades fires, where they were joined by Padilla and Schiff."
Elected officials from Los Angeles County and across California renewed calls for additional federal disaster aid on the one-year anniversary of the Palisades and Eaton wildfires. U.S. Sens. Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff and every California U.S. House representative requested that President Donald Trump ask Congress to pass supplemental funding, following Gov. Gavin Newsom's request for nearly $34 billion. Legislators credited the administration for facilitating the fastest hazardous debris cleanup in history but said more federal support is needed to rebuild highways, roads and critical public infrastructure. Gov. Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom visited memorials, met survivors, and proclaimed a day of remembrance.
