Senator Jim Nielsen (R-Tehama), who represents the Town of Paradise and the surrounding communities devastated by Camp Fire, issued the following statement:

“The horrific Camp Fire has had a devastating impact on thousands of lives, and survivors are earnestly putting their lives back together. They are my first, and only, concern.

“As PG&E prepares its intent to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on or by January 29, I will closely monitor the proceedings and work with the Governor and the Legislature to ensure that fire victims are prioritized and residents continue to receive reliable energy.”
