San Antonio, TX — Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) released the following statement on the recent devastating floods in Texas:
“As rescue missions continue, San Antonians continue to grieve the tragic loss of life from the catastrophic flooding in Kerr County and Central Texas. I am deeply grateful to the first responders and volunteers working tirelessly to locate survivors and missing people.
