friend,
Itβs no secret that things move quickly in Washington, but no matter how busy
it gets, my top priority is to take care of North Caroliniansβespecially those
who are still picking up the pieces after Hurricane Helene.

This week, I joined Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and several local
officials for another tour of I-40 in Haywood County, and I have good news to
report: The interstate is set to partially reopen (one lane on each side) on
March 1.
This is a critical step toward reconnecting our communities and getting folks
back on their feet, but we still have a long way to go.
As Iβve said countless times, the victims don't need tearsβthey need action.
Thatβs why Iβve taken every opportunity to introduce or support legislation
that will make an impact, including:
* The Restoring Access to Mountain Homes Act, to allow FEMA public assistance
funding to be used for permanent repairs of private roads and bridges destroyed
by Hurricane Helene.
* The standalone RELIEF Act, to provide hurricane relief to small businesses
impacted by Hurricane Helene.
* The Disaster Mitigation and Tax Parity Act of 2025, to exclude qualified
catastrophe mitigation payments from gross income for income tax purposes,
encouraging property owners to make improvements that reduce damage from
natural disasters like Hurricane Helene.
Roads, businesses, and homes were washed awayβbut the resilience of Western
North Carolina remains as strong as ever, and if we work together, we can help
our fellow North Carolinians come out of this.
Iβll keep fighting to ensure every community gets the resources and support
they need.
Sincerely,
Thom Tillis
U.S. Senator - North Carolina
