Missed opportunities or negligence? Senate Republican Caucus outlines decades of Democrat failures on wildfires

As wildfires are once again top of mind to many Californians, Senate Republicans are reflecting on past efforts to try to tackle this issue.

Were these simply missed opportunities or was it negligence by Democrat supermajority lawmakers? Take a look and decide for yourself. Click here to read a list of Republican proposals.

To highlight some of these efforts, Republicans break down nearly two decades of efforts to protect Californians, homes, and communities from the threat of fire.

Over the past two decades, Senate Republicans have worked to lower the risk of wildfires in California, to try to prevent the inevitable tragedies like what is now consuming vast swaths of Los Angeles County.

Senate Republicans also have worked on fixing outdated insurance regulations. It's undeniable that the insurance industry is imploding in California, due in no small part to Proposition 103. Decades of misguided policies have created a destabilized homeowners insurance market, which is taking a devastating toll on homeowners and renters alike.

More than 20 years of solutions from Senate Republicans include efforts on wildfire prevention, public safety, CEQA and insurance.

While some of our legislative proposals, ideas and suggestions have been enacted, albeit often after years of delay by legislative Democrats, many more were not.
