I hope you and your family are safe after Hurricane Milton. As we begin to recover from the storm, I want to share with you an update on response and recovery efforts.
The White House has confirmed they received Gov. DeSantis’ request for an expedited major disaster declaration for the State of Florida as a result of Hurricane Milton. I have urged President Biden to swiftly approve this request which will unlock additional assistance for our communities.
