Assuring a swift and safe recovery for all victims of Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Ian, and Hurricane Idalia has been my utmost priority in the aftermath of these horrific disasters. In Congress, I have authored legislation to fix FEMA responses, secured appropriation funds for disaster recovery, fought for changes for better storm resilience, and authored bipartisan legislation that passed the House of Representatives to provide federal tax relief to victims of disasters. As your representative, please know I will continue to work tirelessly in support of disaster recovery efforts so Floridians can be prepared for the next storms.
Rep. Greg Steube Reintroduces FEMA for America First Act to Restrict FEMA Benefits for Paroled Noncitizens, Asylees and Refugees
