U.S. Senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton—along with Congressmen Rick Crawford, French Hill, Steve Womack, and Bruce Westerman—wrote to President Joe Biden urging him to support Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson’s request for a major disaster declaration for Craighead, Jackson, Mississippi, Poinsett, and Woodruff Counties due to extensive tornado damage on December 10, 2021.
In part, the members wrote, “The resourcefulness and resilience of Arkansans in recent months has been impressive, however, as losses mount, the people of our great state hope the federal government will join in these restoration efforts. Federal government resources are critical in the immediate aftermath of these devastating events, and coordination between the federal government and state and local officials is crucial to begin the process of recovery and rebuilding.”
