Washington, D.C. – Our hearts go out to the Tennessee families who were hurt by the severe tornadoes last night. Senator Marsha Blackburn and I are going to do everything we can to work with Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, mayors and others to make sure that federal assistance is available.
U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), “Our hearts go out to the Tennessee families who were hurt by the severe tornadoes last night in Middle Tennessee and Benton County. Senator Blackburn and I are going to do everything we can to work with Governor Lee, mayors and others to make sure that federal assistance is available.”
U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), “We’ve been in touch with mayors from Benton County to Putnam County this morning. We are concerned about what is happening in those counties. We know the need for resources for cleanup are going to be paramount, and we really are prayerful for all of these families who have been so adversely impacted and for the loss of life. Just know that we’re going to continue to be in touch with the congressional delegation, with the governor’s office and with the leadership team there to be certain that needs are met.”
