Congressman Steve Womack released this statement following the devastating tornado that ripped through Joplin, Missouri Sunday night:
"My heart goes out to the residents of the greater Joplin area in the aftermath of Sunday's unfortunate tornado. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. I encourage our business community, churches, and volunteers to do their part to ensure Joplin makes a full recovery from this devastation and I know the great people of Arkansas' Third District will respond to their needs in a special way. That's what neighbors do for one another."
