Dear Friend,
I hope you had a good week. I wanted to share a brief overview of some of the work I did over the past few days while in Washington.
For the latest updates on my work in Congress, you can now find me on Bluesky @repmikequigley.bsky.social
1. Introduced Legislation to Protect Illinois Communities from Flooding
Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (D-IL-05), and U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), reintroduced the bicameral Flood Mapping Modernization and Homeowner Empowerment Pilot Program Act of 2024. The bill would establish a pilot grant program through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to allow cities to develop better methods for mapping, understanding, and mitigating urban flooding while sharing findings with the federal government.
