These Florida Republicans requested Hurricane Ian funding after opposing disaster relief

A handful of Florida lawmakers requested emergency funding in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, but opposed legislation last month that included billions of dollars in disaster relief.

Twelve House lawmakers from Florida penned a letter to Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) and Kay Granger (R-Texas), the chair and ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Tuesday asking for their support in prioritizing an emergency supplemental package for the destruction caused by Hurricane Ian, which tore through the Sunshine State last week.

But in late September, the group of 12 voted against a stopgap that included millions of dollars in disaster relief.
