Visiting TX-36 Communities Impacted by Hurricane Laura
It was good to visit with Jasper County Judge Mark Allen, Newton County Judge Kenneth Weeks, Newton County Sheriff Billy Rowles, and several other hardworking officials on Tuesday to receive an update on their ongoing recovery efforts from Hurricane Laura.

My staff and I also traveled to Bon Weir to deliver hurricane supplies to the community’s outreach center. We will continue to work tirelessly on the federal level to ensure those impacted by last week’s storm have the resources needed to repair, rebuild, and recover.

My office and I are ready to assist however we can. Please don’t hesitate to contact us by visiting our website or calling one of our district offices.
