That's what I'll do as your next state senator, and we're going to get it done. Thank you very much, Senator Roberts. It is absolutely shared responsibility when it comes to severe flooding. Nearly a year ago, Donald Trump and his administration cut $300 million in cloudburst flood mitigation funding from this community. I was very proud to stand with Congresswoman Grace Bang and a representative from Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez in my office. We held a press conference to call on the federal government to actually reinstate that funding. (45:57–46:06)
