Congressman Cleaver, MO Congressional Delegation Call On President Trump To Support Disaster Declaration In Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
(Kansas City, MO) – Today, United States Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO), along with the entire Missouri congressional delegation, sent a letter urging President Trump to support Missouri’s disaster declaration request, so the state may adequately respond to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The disaster declaration must be approved before the state can access critically important federal funding.
In the letter, the lawmakers wrote:
“In many Missouri communities, efforts to prevent and mitigate the spread of the virus are constrained by inadequate access to resources, including personal protective equipment. Businesses have been adversely affected by this virus, leaving workers and business owners without income. Multiple sectors of industry and state and local governments lack the capacity to counteract the negative economic impacts caused by the virus. Access to federal resources may better equip Missouri communities to appropriately respond to this public health emergency. We respectfully request your prompt action to ensure that our communities receive the immediate support needed to respond to this unprecedented disaster.”
“Missouri’s case level may be low, but the economic impact of coronavirus has been significant to communities across the state,” said Congressman Cleaver. “I’m hopeful the President will immediately approve the disaster declaration so that we can bring immediate relief to Missouri families, while preparing for the what is yet to come.”
Governor Parson has requested Individual Assistance for Disaster Unemployment Assistance and the Crisis Counseling Program, Public Assistance for Debris Removal and Emergency Protective Measures, as well as Hazard Mitigation.

ReplyDeleteHow has Roy Blunt and Manny Cleaver not been infected with COV19?
ReplyDeleteHow about we declare Cleaver a disaster?
ReplyDeleteClever is a worthless dipshit
ReplyDeleteHe should be out changing MLK signs not begging for Trump handouts
I seriously doubt Trump has any idea who Cleaver is.
ReplyDelete^^^^
ReplyDeleteEven Cleaver's Democratic House colleagues don't know who he is.
And when he finally leaves, not so much as a fingerprint will remain in the Capitol.
Sad.
In a congress full of useless mouthbreathers, carwash stands out as even more pathetic than the majority.
ReplyDeleteWe had 20 Chinese flu cases when he demanded a disaster declaration, we all know what he’s gonna do with the money, jazz district and the fat fake revs.
ReplyDeleteIs the Car Wash an essential business?
