I’m grateful to my fellow senators, the governor and the entire delegation for moving so swiftly – receiving relief this quickly is unprecedented and shows the depth of need in Louisiana. This will go a long way to help our families begin to recover, rebuild and prosper." Dr. Cassidy has been leading the effort to bring relief to Louisiana, including organizing the effort to send a letter to the president urging him to submit a supplemental appropriations request to Congress for flood recovery aid.
