U.S. Senator John Cornyn has expressed his support for an appropriations package aimed at providing disaster relief to those affected by Hurricane Helene. The statement comes in response to a request made by several senators, including Thom Tillis, Ted Budd, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, Marsha Blackburn, Bill Hagerty, Mark Warner, and Tim Kaine.
Cornyn emphasized the urgency of the situation: “Texas is no stranger to hurricanes and other deadly storms, so I well understand the destruction caused by storms like Hurricane Helene. While the impacted communities are still in the preliminary assessment stages, it is clear the devastation will require Congress to act promptly and significantly to ensure that our fellow Americans get the help they desperately need.”
The senator's statement underscores the importance of timely congressional action to address the needs of millions of Americans impacted by the hurricane.
