WASHINGTON, DC –U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) delivered remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate this afternoon urging Congress and the Administration to urgently act to aid Puerto Rico, which was battered by Hurricane Maria last week. Reports indicate a dire humanitarian situation on the island, with thousands of American citizens without access to electricity, running water, medication, and life-sustaining essentials.
