Gavin Newsom actually said...

"Los Angeles is one of the most economically productive places on the globe, but it can only rebound and flourish with support from the federal government as it recovers from this unprecedented disaste..."

"We're starting this effort by more directly involving Californians in the LA firestorm response and recovery. As we recover, reimagine, and rebuild Los Angeles, we will do it together."

"The impacted communities have experienced widespread devastation and the total impact on California's economy will take years to fully qualify."

"I'm asking Congress to have the back of the American people and provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild as soon as possible."
