Lipinski Votes for Initial Funding for Hurricane Harvey Relief

"Congress must fulfill its role in providing the necessary resources to help with disaster recovery efforts," said Lipinski.

Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3) released the following statement today:

“I am pleased to support providing additional funding for FEMA and the Small Business Administration to help with ongoing recovery efforts in Texas and Louisiana in response to Hurricane Harvey. My thoughts and prayers are with those families who have lost loved ones, their homes and well-being, and we must all do what we can to assist them in their long road to recovery. I’m proud that the people of our great nation have once again stepped up to support one another, and Congress must fulfill its role in providing the necessary resources to help with disaster recovery efforts too.”
