In California, 178,322 acres have already burned this year as a result of wildfires.
You read that correctly. 178,322 acres, gone. Compared to the 7,800 we saw this time last year. It’s devastating.
It is more important than ever that we elect firefighter Joe Kerr to Congress.
As a long-time firefighter, Joe has put his life on the line to keep Orange County families safe, responding to every significant disaster in Orange County over the last three decades - inside burning buildings, putting out fires, responding to disasters, and saving lives.
He is the only candidate in the nation uniquely poised to lead the conversation on wildfire prevention and keeping Californians safe and insured.
In fact, he worked alongside the Newsom Administration and the California Professional Firefighters in a groundbreaking wildfire prevention project. The program deployed over 1,000 AI-powered wildfire cameras—an innovation developed by UCSD. These cameras detect and monitor fires from their earliest stages, providing critical early warnings that have already saved countless lives, billions of dollars, and millions of acres of California’s wildlands. This technology is a game-changer, and Joe's leadership in this effort is a testament to his forward-thinking approach.
He has made it clear he intends to continue the fight against wildfires on the federal level by securing funding for this technology, along with additional firefighter resources, tools, and protections, while fighting to protect homeowner’s insurance.
So, John, can we count on you to donate to Joe’s campaign today? Your donation will be a sure investment in a safer, greener, and more equitable California.
