Whether they’re clearing debris, offering temporary shelter, providing warm meals, or so much more, the outpouring of help from aid groups, local churches, and volunteers in Phelps County is incredible.
Before I went out to survey tornado damage, I sat down with Rolla Mayor Lou Magdits, Rolla Fire Chief Jeff Breen, Phelps County Sheriff Mike Kirn, Rolla Police Chief Sean Fagan, State Rep. Tara Peters, and more. I’m glad to hear that the community is receiving quick responses from state and federal officials. It truly makes a difference when local, state, and federal officials are working together on recovery efforts. ... See MoreSee Less

Could you explain what the feds have done so far to help rural Missouri this year?
Great job❤️
You need to see West Plains, Perryville, Bakersfield, Poplar Bluff, Alton and Rover.

The tornado damage in Des Arc is absolutely devastating. An EF-3 tornado almost completely flattened this small town but, miraculously, no one was killed.
I appreciate State Rep. Tony Harbison, Sheriff Chuck Helton, the county commissioners, and members of the village board for taking the time to meet with me about recovery efforts. I promised I’d do everything I can to help this great community. ... See MoreSee Less

My hunting farm is 2 miles south of Des Arc. Thankfully we only had tree damage! What a mess it was down Highway 49 and in Des Arc and the surrounding area. Thanks for doing a great job!
Thank you for your support in this great time of need for this community.
Everything but stand up to an administration that wants to cut FEMA, the NOAA, and the NWS, it seems.

In Arnold, an EF-2 tornado brought over 100mph winds and golf ball-sized hail, damaging 500 homes and many cars and leaving thousands without power.
I appreciate Mayor Pro-Tem Gary Plunk, County Executive Dennis Gannon, and first responders for meeting with me to discuss recovery efforts.
It was great to see community groups offering free food and supplies to neighbors. I’ll keep working to ensure families and small businesses in Arnold have the support they need to get back on their feet. ... See MoreSee Less

Seems to me I read somewhere that ours was a government of the people, by the people, for the people. So you're saying that government spending supporting the people is waste. I don't think we the people are getting our money's worth from you and your morally reprehensible cohorts.
Jason, do you really believe we all think what he's doing is okay. I certainly didn't vote for him, and I am appalled at what he's doing. I can't believe you really think it's okay either. That's not the Jason I knew.

Deadly storms left a path of destruction across more than 20 counties in the 8th Congressional District. At least 12 people tragically lost their lives. Thousands of buildings - including homes, businesses, schools, and farms - were destroyed.
I’m incredibly grateful for our first responders and aid groups that are working around the clock to support these communities during these very difficult times. I’m also grateful to see so many neighbors helping neighbors and communities helping communities. That’s what makes living in Missouri so special.
I am working directly with officials at every level - including President Trump, Governor Mike Kehoe, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem - to get these communities the help they need. While the recovery process won’t be easy, these communities are incredibly tough and will bounce back stronger than before. ... See MoreSee Less

Many homes and businesses were damaged or outright destroyed by the severe weather that hit communities across southeast and south-central Missouri. Tragically, initial reports say that at least 10 individuals lost their lives. Please join me in praying for the victims and their families.
My team and I are in close contact with federal, state, and local officials as recovery efforts continue. I will do everything I can to help our communities get the support and resources they need to rebuild. ... See MoreSee Less
