Rep. LaMalfa, where are you? The federal government is refusing direct aid to your constituents, and you are doing nothing to advocate for them. (1/7)

Even if this issue is resolved, our representative should be fighting from the moment anyone threatens their constituents, to ensure that political gamesmanship does not cause unnecessary stress to victims of wildfire. (2/7)
In matters of security and well-being for people in California’s 1st District who have already experienced the unimaginable, it is absolutely unacceptable for our elected leaders to stand idly by while games are played with their lives. (3/7)
This isn't the first time our Congressman has been silent when his voice mattered most. In 2018 after the Camp Fire, admittedly I was tired after running our first campaign - thoughts of running again in 2020 were the furthest thing from my mind as our communities suffered. (4/7)
But my passion and energy to fight for the North State was reinvigorated when I was hearing directly from members of the U.S. House of Representatives & the U.S. Senate that essential decisions about relief funding were being debated & Rep. LaMalfa was nowhere to be found. (5/7)
The level of funding initially proposed was going to leave Butte County with a $2 billion recovery shortfall, and the only person who could advocate for us was not showing up to do his job. (6/7)
This is why we need a representative who leads for people, not politics. A true public servant knows who they are accountable to. They know that their only job is to prioritize the well-being of the people they serve. I will be that representative. I'm ready to get to work. (7/7)
