Just one day before Hurricane Helene tore through Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz of the Sunshine State was among several Republicans to vote against a stopgap measure that would continue funding the government and provide billions of dollars in extra disaster assistance.

This isn’t the first time Gaetz has voted against a continuing resolution that includes disaster relief funding. He also did so in 2022, just days after Hurricane Ian ravaged Florida. Despite his most recent vote, Gaetz promised that Floridians would still have support for Hurricane Helene damage, according to a report by ABC 3. When reached for comment, Gaetz’s office directed Newsweek to the ABC report.
