| Information on my fire safety legislation |
I am reaching out to share some important legislation I introduced this week to help safeguard our communities from the devastating wildfires and protect victims from opportunistic criminals during these emergencies.
Make Impersonating Emergency Responders a Felony
This bill will allow prosecutors to bring felony charges against those who impersonate police officers or firefighters during a state of emergency. This legislation will help protect both our communities and first responders from criminals who take advantage of chaotic situations to exploit residents.

| Palmdale Opens Warming Center for Weekend Temperature Drop |
PALMDALE, CA — The City of Palmdale is opening its warming center at Victory Outreach, 37419 25th St. East, due to extreme weekend temperatures. The center will be open from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. from Friday, Feb. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 9. Transportation to Victory Outreach is available by calling 661/733-3823.
Overnight temperatures in the High Desert can drop significantly during the winter months, even as daytime temperatures remain warm and pleasant. Extremely cold air combined with brisk winds can result in dangerously cold wind chill conditions. People exposed to the harsh cold are susceptible to hypothermia, which occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it.

| Congressman Whitesides’ January Update |
As I wrap up my first month as your Congressman, I’m going to share some of the work that my team and I have gotten started in January. We’ve hit the ground running – introducing bills to address the wildfire crisis, advocating for aid for those who have been affected, joining multiple committees and caucuses, and staffing up our D.C. and L.A. County offices.
However, before I talk about all of that, I want to acknowledge the fear and panic caused by this week’s announcement that the federal government may pause critical grants that so many organizations and individuals rely on. In the days since the Office of Management and Budget memo was released, I spoke with firefighters, veterans, affordable housing nonprofits, educators, health care providers, and individuals across our district who need federal grants to continue to do their important work.
While a judge blocked the order from taking effect immediately, and the White House rescinded the memo as of Wednesday, we do not yet know what the impact will be. I am in close contact with local, state, and federal officials and will do everything I can to fight this. If you believe you may be affected by a potential grant freeze, you can fill out this survey to share your story.
