Rep. Garret Graves, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Louisiana's 6th district since 2015, recently shared his thoughts on various topics through a series of tweets. The posts reflect on local resilience in disaster preparedness, ongoing commitment to Louisiana, and personal gratitude for his role and family.

On November 27, 2024, Rep. Graves highlighted the effectiveness of community-driven storm protection efforts during Hurricane Francine.

"Hurricane Francine was a reminder of the power of preparation."

Later that day, Rep. Graves reiterated his commitment to fighting for Louisiana's interests until the very end. Reflecting on past disasters like Hurricane Katrina nearly two decades ago, he emphasized the importance of vigilance to prevent future losses in the state. "As I’ve stated since June, we are running through the tape."

On November 28, 2024, Rep. Graves expressed his gratitude for representing his constituents in what he calls "God's Country" within Sportsman's Paradise in America. He also conveyed appreciation for having his family by his side during this journey. "I am thankful for representing the greatest people in God's Country nestled in Sportsman's Paradise."
