WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ), Ranking Member of the Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee’s Subcommittee that oversees FEMA, released the following statement after President Trump announced his nomination of Cameron Hamilton to head FEMA:
“Communities across the country need us to turn the page on this Administration’s failed attempt to abolish FEMA and build an agency fully prepared to deliver on its mission. Looking after Americans’ safety and well-being must be our top priority in Congress, just as it has to be for the next FEMA Administrator. Before the next disaster strikes, it is critically important we get to work on reform legislation that sets FEMA and our country up for success.”
