Washington, DC (November 20, 2024)-Today, Congressman Van Drew questioned Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell in a House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee hearing about reports that FEMA workers were instructed to "avoid homes advertising Trump" while assisting hurricane victims.

"There is no place for bias in disaster...
