00:00
First, to the members of the community, and all those who've impacted, the survivors, those who've lost loved ones,
00:07
I know there's not any adequate words any of us can express to share our care and concern.
00:14
But I want to promise you, every person in this state, every tip of it,
00:19
we have held you in our thoughts, in our prayers, and we will continue to do so as you go through this.
00:25
And you take care of what I know all Texans can endure.
00:29
I had the opportunity to fly with Governor Abbott today over the damaged area.
00:36
It is hard to comprehend the amount of water that came through in such a short period of time.
00:43
It is unimaginable what the victims and survivors went through as they were faced with that,
00:50
and we heard the stories about that.
00:52
And looking at the debris and looking at the problems and all of the damage that's been done,
00:57
I know there's a long road to recovery.
01:00
But through that, we saw some silver linings.
01:03
We saw Texas flags being flown proudly because we know people of this state are resilient.
01:11
We saw people from all over the state coming together and working and volunteering
01:16
and trying to begin helping rebuild and continuing with the search and recovery efforts.
01:22
I have had members of the Texas House from all over the state looking for ways to help.
01:30
You have a great local representative with West Fridell, but I promise you,
01:33
every Texan, all 150 members of the Texas House have been looking for ways to help,
01:39
whether it's helping to raise money or wanting to do things.
01:42
They are committed to it.
01:44
I want to thank Governor Abbott for saying that we will address these issues in a special session in two weeks.
01:51
And I want to assure you, the Texas House will be organized, we will be ready,
01:55
and we stand willing and able to listen to the community and experts
01:59
and do all that we can to help address it from this perspective.
02:03
So thank you all very much for the opportunity.
02:05
I'll turn over the microphone.
