Dear Friend,
It's been almost seven months since Harvey turned our worlds upside down. Though we have come a long way, there is still work to be done. There is still help available. Local, state, and federal officials are working together to bring you relief. Most impressively, our great communities have gone above and beyond, time and time again, to help someone in need. As always, my office is here to help. We are a resource for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Randy K. Weber
