She posted a letter to the Republican, who will take over from President Joe Biden on January 20, on the X platform.
Barger, who is also a Republican, also wrote that she was looking forward to working with the new administration with a view to rebuilding in and around Los Angeles in the coming years. She asked Trump to stand by the people.
Not the first letter
The Democratic governor of the state of California, Gavin Newsom, had previously sent a letter to the future US president inviting him to see the extent of the fires in person. Trump had attributed responsibility for the extent of the fires in the second-largest city in the USA to Newsom - among other things, he criticized his water-saving measures. Newsom countered that human tragedies should not be politicized.
