    I joined the entire New Jersey Congressional delegation in sending a letter to President Obama urging the Administration to submit a request to Congress for funding to help New Jersey rebuild stronger after Superstorm Sandy. Governor Christie has announced the initial damage assessment for Sandy to be at $29.4 billion. It is imperative that our area is provided with the necessary resources to ensure the quickest and strongest rebuilding process possible.
