Whitesides Takes Bold Action to Combat Extreme Heat, Protect California Communities

As Southern California faces record-breaking temperatures and more frequent, dangerous heatwaves, Congressman George Whitesides is taking decisive action to protect California families and build long-term climate resilience.

Whitesides recently introduced a legislative package to tackle the growing threat of extreme heat – delivering real solutions to safeguard at-risk communities, upgrade critical infrastructure, strengthen emergency response systems, and invest in pathways to secure a healthier future for all Californians.

“With temperatures rising in California and across the country, it’s more important than ever to take action to protect our communities. This slate of bills will provide important resources to keep families safe, reduce heat risks, and strengthen our response to rising temperatures.” – Rep. Whitesides 

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“George Whitesides is stepping up with real, forward-looking solutions to one of California’s most urgent challenges. While extreme heat puts our health, economy, and environment at risk, Whitesides is focused on smart policy that will keep Californians safe and prepared for the future.”
