United States Missouri Senator Josh Hawley recently canceled a trip to the U.S. Mexico border to go to Jefferson City Missouri and check out the damage that severe storms inflicted on the city. Now, after touring the city, he’s working on getting Congress to approve a disaster relief bill which will help Jefferson City as it tries to recover from the recent tornado.<\/p>\n

Tornado’s in Missouri<\/h2>\n

Last week Missouri was hit by heavy storms across the state, there were multiple tornados, and several cities experienced substantial damage. One of those cities was the state’s capital, Jefferson City. Senator Hawley quickly returned to Missouri to lend a helping hand when he heard the news of the damage the tornados had caused in Missouri.<\/p>\n
