While President Biden found the time to travel to California and hold a political fundraiser here this week, he and his Administration have not found the time to approve California\u2019s disaster declaration request. I know I speak on behalf of many of our impacted residents and communities in expressing my frustration and disappointment with the Biden Administration\u2019s inaction. As I have done in person at the White House, in letters, and over the phone \u2013 I urge the Biden Administration to approve California\u2019s major disaster declaration to provide relief to impacted families, businesses and communities.\u201d\n\nOn September 19, 2023, Rep. Calvert, along with U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein (both D-Calif.), led the entire California delegation in signing a letter calling on the Biden Administration to grant California\u2019s request for a major disaster declaration in response to the ongoing impacts of Tropical Storm Hilary.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://calvert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-calvert-expresses-frustration-biden-administration-delays-approving"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3411021791398525, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
