Today, Congressman Van Drew issued a statement urging the administration to expedite Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding for individuals impacted by Hurricane Helene.

"We need to get hurricane relief funding to the states that need it, and we need to do it fast," said Congressman Van Drew. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing domestic aid over international spending, stating, "It is wrong that we keep sending billions of dollars overseas to fund Ukraine's endless war, but fall short when it comes to helping our own people during a crisis. This administration needs to change its priorities and focus on helping Americans in these times of need before anything else."
