DES MOINES – Just weeks after voting against disaster aid that would help Iowa communities recover from flooding, Congressman Steve King has reversed course and is now touting relief awarded today by FEMA.

“Iowans recovering from floods don’t have time for Congressman King’s political games,” said Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky. “It’s easy for Steve King to put out statements touting disaster aid, but he has been unable to do the right thing and support efforts in Washington. Iowans deserve someone who will backup their rhetoric with action and be there to support our communities as they recover and rebuild.”

In a statement released this morning King said he was “relieved” that disaster aid would be granted to Iowa, but failed to mention his efforts to stonewall relief in Washington.
