44 Republicans Voted Against Forest Management Wildfire Prevention in December [View all]

In December, 44 Republicans voted against HR 10545, the American Relief Act of 2025, which provided funds for wildfire prevention measures, including $75,000,000 for the "construction or maintenance of shaded fuel breaks in the Pacific Regions."

The bill also replenished federal disaster relief funds due to recent disasters such as the multiple hurricanes that have hit the east coast. Republicans frequently vote against bills that help people, and in this case, could prevent wildfire from spreading and destroying people's homes.
