GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — President Donald Trump announced on social media that he has approved $22.6 million in FEMA disaster funding for Wisconsin following the historic flooding that impacted northeast Wisconsin earlier this year.
The funding request came after severe flooding caused widespread damage across the region.
Congressman Tom Tiffany, who is also running for governor of Wisconsin, responded to the announcement by thanking the Trump administration for helping secure the disaster assistance.
When severe weather hit Wisconsin, I called the White House to help secure the federal support our state needs.
