STATEMENT: Congressman Fleischmann on Hurricane Harvey relief funding

September 6, 2017

The following statement can be attributed to Congressman Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN):

"I was honored to support legislation providing the desperately needed $7.85 billion in disaster relief funding to our good friends in Texas. Hurricane Harvey was a disaster of historic proportions and it was our congressional duty to come together and pass this bill today with almost unanimous support. I am so proud to see so many Americans, from first responders to citizen volunteers, stand together in the face of catastrophe. We will continue to stand with them as they face the challenges ahead."
