Republicans Meet in Cedar Rapids To Discuss Flood Recovery

Last Friday the House Republican Caucus met on the campus of Kirkwood College in Cedar Rapids to discuss issues that might come up in a special session of the House this fall and to tour flood damaged areas of Cedar Rapids.

  Republican Leader Christopher Rants addresses other members of the Republican Caucus at a caucus meeting in Cedar Rapids to discuss flood recovery issues.

Following the caucus meeting, in which members discussed flooding issues they and their constituents are facing, the members toured the flooded areas of Cedar Rapids. A homeowner met with them to discuss what challenges he and his neighbors have faced and continue to face as they try to rebuild.

Republican members meet with a Cedar Rapids homeowner to hear the challenges he has faced after the flooding.

The Republican members of the House, in a press release two weeks ago, urged the Governor to hold a special session immediately to assist the residents of Iowa in recovering from the flooding earlier in the summer. You can view that press release here.
