Richmond Votes Against National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization | 2017-11-14 | 2017 | 2017-11 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Cedric Richmond (LA-02) released the following statement regarding today’s vote on H.R. 2874, the 21st Century Flood Reform Act, in the House of Representatives: “Simply put, this bill is bad for the people of Louisiana,” said Rep. Richmond. “My constituents aren’t living in mansions; they’re working people living in the same cities they grew up in, close to their jobs and families. So the cost of flood insurance matters a lot. The surcharge and premium increases that would result from this bill would be devastating for the people I represent. Additionally, tying removal of a property from the program to a home’s replacement cost puts the communities I represent at risk of a foreclosure crisis.” Watch the Congressman’s floor remarks here. #### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
