Joint Statement from Supervisor Barger and Mayor Bass

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger and Los Angeles City Mayor Karen Bass released the following statement today after their meeting with President Donald Trump: 

“This afternoon, we met with President Trump and Administration officials to advocate for families who lost everything. We had a very positive discussion about FEMA and other rebuilding funds, as well as the support of the President to continue joining us in pressuring the insurance companies to pay what they owe – and for the big banks to step up to ease the financial pressure on LA families.

“Our job is to fight for our communities. When it comes to this recovery, our federal partners are essential, and we are grateful for the support of the President.”
