Rubio Applauds Action on Disaster Funding to Help Local Communities Still Struggling to Recover
Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) welcomed Senate action on a disaster supplemental aid package to provide funding to local communities still struggling to recover from recent natural disasters, including Florida’s panhandle that was devastated by Hurricane Michael in October 2018. The Senate voted 90-10 to proceed to the disaster supplemental. A summary of the measure can be found here.

It is time to send the president a disaster supplemental that will help us continue on the path to full recovery.”
