Edwards shows President Trump progress and priorities for WNC’s recovery

U.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) today issued the following statement about President Trump’s return visit to Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene:

“During President Trump’s visit to Western North Carolina, I had the privilege of showing him how federal disaster funds that I authored are already at work to help aid in Western North Carolina’s recovery.

"The president also witnessed the resilience of Western North Carolinians whose lives have been turned upside down by Hurricane Helene, and his presence sent a strong message to the people of our mountains that we are not forgotten.

"I will continue to fight for every dollar that is needed to help WNC rebuild and look forward to working with President Trump and my House colleagues to fix FEMA so that our nation is fully prepared to respond to future disasters.”
