Criswell Back for FEMA Role

Deanne Criswell, Trump’s pick to lead FEMA, faced tough Senate scrutiny this week, defending his promise to make disaster relief fair and unbiased. Rejected once before for challenging FEMA shutdowns, he’s now back in the running — as Trump pushes to shift more disaster response to states. Senators raised alarms over political bias in aid approvals and slow federal responses, with Criswell admitting FEMA’s processes need fixing and pledging to bring back 350 key roles. He also emphasized tailored disaster funding for states like those hit hardest by wildfires, drawing from his Western roots and personal experience with fire loss.
