One Year Later: Newsom Let California Burn, Harder Looked Away

January 7, 2026

One year ago, Californians watched in horror as the devastating Palisades Fire tore through Los Angeles communities, destroying homes, livelihoods, and lives.

Today, the message from Gavin Newsom and Josh Harder is clear: you’re on your own.

“Democrat Gavin Newsom and out of touch Democrat Josh Harder let their state burn. One year later, Californians are still paying the price. Californians won’t forget who abandoned them when it mattered.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
