Today I voted for the CR which includes Hurricane Matthew relief, including grants to help individuals rebuild and funding for Army Corps repairs. While this is certainly a step in the right direction, it’s important to remember the enormity of this storm and the time it will take to fully recover. Over the coming months, I’ll continue to work with appropriators and my Congressional colleagues to fight for resources to uplift our district and return it back to normal.” The CR contains $4.1 billion in disaster relief assistance to address national damages caused by recent natural disasters, including Hurricane Matthew, flooding, droughts, and other severe weather events in 2016. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
