Kemp Applauds President and Senate, Calls on House to Reconvene and Pass Relief Bill
Atlanta, GA - On Thursday, the U.S Senate passed a disaster relief package which would provide assistance to hundreds of farm families in south and southwest Georgia affected by Hurricane Michael. After the House failed to act on the measure before their recess, Governor Brian P. Kemp issued the following statement:
“Thanks to President Trump and the Georgia delegation, Hurricane Michael victims will finally receive the resources and relief that they so desperately need to rebuild, replant, and prosper. Yesterday, the U.S Senate finally put thousands of hardworking Americans ahead of partisan politics. It’s time for the House to cut their vacation short, return to Washington next week, and do the same.”
