Lowey Statement on Second Anniversary of Superstorm Sandy

Press Release

Congresswoman Nita M. Lowey (D-Westchester/Rockland), the Ranking Member on the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement today regarding the second anniversary of Superstorm Sandy:

"Two years ago, in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, we came together, committed to rebuilding and resolved to strengthen our homes, businesses, and communities. As the top Democratic appropriator in the House of Representatives, I helped lead the fight to secure the Sandy assistance package totaling $60 billion to provide relief for New York. I'm proud these funds have helped rebuild communities throughout Westchester and Rockland and relieved local taxpayers of footing the full recovery bill. Today, I continue fighting to expedite assistance for families and local governments awaiting approval, and I won't stop until the recovery and resiliency needs of my constituents are met."
