Issue Position: Wildfires

Issue Position

Last year, we saw unimaginable tragedy inflicted on our friends and neighbors in the North State, during fires like the Carr Fire near Redding and the Camp Fire in Paradise. During those difficult times, we saw our remarkable communities come together to do what they always do in times of crisis: we pulled together for our neighbors, we provided food, clothing, and housing, and we assisted in the clean-up and rebuilding process. But that isn't enough. The fact is, our forests are mismanaged by the federal government. That's why it's important that we equip our heroic firefighters with the manpower and resources they need, advocate for changes to policy on a federal level, and force our own state to do more on this issue. Tragedies like what we saw last year should never happen again.
