Congressman Troy Carter Requests Bipartisan Congressional Delegation Visit to Louisiana Following Hurricane Ida

NEW ORLEANS, LA. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter Sr. sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi requesting her appointment of a bipartisan congressional delegation to visit Louisiana following Hurricane Ida. 

“After a Category 4 hurricane, the strongest to hit our state in living memory, Louisiana will need assistance from Congress to build back better,” said Congressman Carter. “I would request that you select a bipartisan delegation of members from the House of Representatives travel to visit areas of Louisiana impacted by Hurricane Ida. There, our colleagues can witness the damage firsthand and receive updates on our progress. Sending a delegation will demonstrate the House of Representatives commitment to Louisiana following this disaster.”

President Joe Biden, Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond, and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell all visited Louisiana on Friday.
