ARIZONA - Today, Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) visited the towns of Globe and Miami to survey the damage of historic flooding that killed three people in Arizona last week, hear directly from impacted residents and small business owners, and thank first responders and volunteers supporting recovery efforts.
