Rep. Garret Graves, representing Louisiana’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress since 2015, shared a series of tweets on December 12, 2024, addressing various issues from legislative responsibilities to disaster relief inefficiencies and state-specific legislative victories.
In a tweet posted at 15:45 UTC, Rep. Graves emphasized the importance of responsibility that accompanies power by stating: “With great power comes great responsibility. Let’s get this done. #SocialSecurityFairnessAct #RepealWEPGPO”.
Later that day, at 18:28 UTC, he criticized FEMA’s operational efficiency, highlighting an issue with outstanding reimbursement claims: “FEMA has no incentive to be efficient. The Inspector General recently found that the disaster agency had $71 billion in outstanding reimbursement claims from state & local governments — some dating back over a decade.”
Finally, at 20:00 UTC, Rep. Graves expressed satisfaction with recent legislative achievements benefiting Louisiana: “The wins in this bill protect Louisiana’s people and our way of life… As I’ve said, we’re running through the tape to secure more wins for Louisiana –”.
