"Today marks 6 months since Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island of #PuertoRico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. As we all know, the storm was one of the most powerful and devastating to ever strike those American islands."

"There was terrible damage to schools and hospitals, water systems and roads, homes and businesses. It took months to get electricity, clean water, and cell service back to large parts of the island, and far too many people are still waiting for relief."

"Congress passed significant relief earlier this year, but we have to make sure that aid goes to the right places, and if additional aid is required, additional aid is provided."

"To the long-suffering American citizens of Puerto Rico and the #USVI and the thousands who have relocated to the US mainland: we have not forgotten you. We are here to help you. And we're going to keep fighting to help rebuild your homes and communities."
