La Crosse – Today, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind issued the following statement after the Trump Administration granted a Major Disaster Declaration for the state of Wisconsin, triggering the release of federal funds to help people and communities recover from the recent storms and severe flooding.
“As I’ve traveled across Wisconsin visiting communities and families impacted by flooding, I have seen our spirit of strength and resiliency in times of adversity.

I look forward to continuing to work with FEMA to ensure the additional federal resources are well-utilized,” said Rep. Ron Kind.
