The Louisiana delegation will work to get more money, as well as a 90-10 cost-share split for March flood victims, included in the year-end omnibus spending bill, which will be heard after the November elections."The continuing resolution I voted for tonight contains half a billion dollars for disaster relief that our people need. No, the CR wasn’t perfect, but Louisiana needs assistance now, and delivering that assistance is our delegation’s top priority. This is a good first step, but we have more work to do to fully recover from the March and August floods. I appreciate Sen. Cassidy’s work on the Senate Appropriations Committee in getting this initial downpayment, and I know he will continue his efforts to get the rest of the money we need into the year-end omnibus," Dr. Abraham said. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
