WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding recent severe flooding in Kentucky:
“Yesterday, communities across my home state endured another spate of heavy rains. Flash flooding was especially severe in western Kentucky, where residents are still rebuilding after tornadoes pummeled the region just 19 months ago.
“First responders have been moving quickly to rescue and evacuate those impacted, and I understand that so far there are no reported injuries or deaths. I’m thankful for their heroic work to keep Kentuckians safe.
“My team is in touch with state and local officials to help however we can. And later today, I’ll speak with the Mayor of Mayfield to get an update on the situation in her community. Elaine and I continue to pray for the safety of West Kentuckians as they recover and rebuild in this time of need.”
