A special legislative session was held where flood relief efforts were discussed. Well, the special session came in and I was very honored to be able to carry the legislation that put $212 million into our East Kentucky flooding situation that we have here in Eastern Kentucky. So I think it was a very successful special session. It was a special session where we went in and everyone was in agreement with trying to help us here in Eastern Kentucky during this time. And so I think it was a tremendously successful special session that we're still reaping the benefits from. Many in the region are continuing to struggle to get back on their feet following the flooding in 2022. For Representative Blanton, flood relief is a top priority. So obviously continuing to work on the flooding is our number one priority and getting some funding for that housing, even though this is not a budgetary year that we open the budget up to provide monies for that. But also I've been working on a rural jobs legislation and hopeful that that will help to bring investments in the Eastern Kentucky to create jobs and bring industry in here. So that's my top priorities in this session. As 2023 progresses, Blanton looks to make the push for flood relief efforts that so many people still desperately need.
