CONGRESSWOMAN PLASKETT EXPRESSES SOLIDARITY WITH TEXAS COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY SEVERE FLOODING

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) issued the following statement regarding the severe flooding impacting communities across Texas:

"My heart goes out to the families and communities across Texas who are facing the devastating impacts of severe flooding. As someone who represents a territory that knows all too well the destructive power of extreme weather events, I stand in solidarity with our fellow Americans during this difficult time.

"The images and reports coming from Texas are heartbreaking - families displaced from their homes, businesses underwater, and communities struggling to recover. We must ensure that federal resources and support are made available quickly to help with immediate rescue and recovery efforts.

"No American community should face natural disasters alone, and we must come together to support our neighbors in Texas as they work to rebuild and recover. I extend my support and solidarity to my colleagues in the Texas delegation, especially those whose districts are impacted.

"I encourage anyone who can safely do so to support relief efforts through established disaster relief organizations. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragic flooding.
