U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after the Trump Administration announced that the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) was awarding grants in order to help Puerto Ricans continue to recover following the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017:
"As our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico continue their long road to recovery following the destructive path of Hurricane Maria, I welcome the Trump Administration's announcement of much needed funding for the island's electrical grid and education system. Having seen firsthand the destruction left by this category 5 hurricane, these funds will help to improve the lives of all Puerto Ricans."
