Issue Position: Flood Recovery and Mitigation

Issue Position

It's been more than 2 years since Harvey hit and there is much work to be done to rebuild homes, reimburse property owners, increase detention and conveyance capacity, and strengthen infrastructure.

As a State legislator, I will remain vigilant in fighting for the funding that was set aside for Harris County, but that is still pending. Flood concerns must stay front and center to ensure that funds are spent fairly, swiftly and responsibly to build protections designed to withstand serious future rain events.

Building codes and consumer protections that safeguard home owners and apartment dwellers from major losses are important measures.
