NASHVILLE, Tenn. – U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) joined Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Director Patrick Sheehan, McNairy County Mayor Larry Smith, Selmer City Mayor Sherry Inman, and McNairy County Emergency Management Agency Director Allen Strickland in visiting the recovery center at the McNairy County Agricultural Event Center and surveying damage sites.

Following the site tours, Senator Blackburn participated in a roundtable discussion at the McNairy County Courthouse. McNairy County tragically lost five individuals as a result of the storms earlier this month.

 “We are so grateful to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency for taking the time to join us and for their hard work on behalf of the Tennesseans impacted by the storms this month in McNairy County. This recovery wouldn’t be possible without the local officials, non-profit organizations, law enforcement officers, and volunteers who have stepped up to the plate to help their neighbors and their community.” – Senator Blackburn
