TIFTON, GA – Today, Congressman Austin Scott (GA-08) issued the following statement on the disaster assistance delay in the House:

“While political games over disaster assistance continued this morning as a Member from Texas blocked a disaster aid package from getting to the President’s desk today, one thing is clear: This package has broad bipartisan support. It will advance when the House reconvenes, and it will be signed into law by President Trump the first week of June,” said Rep. Austin Scott.
