For years, right here I have advocated for a Flood Insurance Program that uses the best science and data to map properties so that both the Government and the homeowners fully understand the risk of flooding.
Shelby emphasizes the need for accurate flood risk mapping.

Because the administration has refused to fund the construction of a comprehensive barrier along the border, it has been compelled to send the National Guard to deal with the consequences.
I remain concerned that the Air Force budget request is insufficient considering the needed modernization across the inventory with a rapidly evolving threat.
A lot of people, including this Senator, believe that the request is not enough considering the problems in the world.
I am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.
