DeSantis takes action to ensure goods and voting services are available post-Helene

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced several new actions the state of Florida is taking to assist with its recovery from Hurricane Helene, including assistance with voting and shipping goods as the port strike continues.

The Florida governor announced the state’s National Guard and Florida State Guard would be deployed at key ports affected by the International Longshoremen’s Association work stoppage, where they will resume operations if possible. The governor contended that this strike will not only affect the country’s economy but also the victims of the hurricane in need of relief, calling the possible holdup of goods “simply unacceptable.”
