Hamilton Eyes FEMA Leadership | Pierre News

The Senate Homeland Security Committee just voted 8-4 to move forward with Cameron Hamilton’s nomination to lead FEMA — a historic first since the Trump administration began. Hamilton, who previously served as acting head before being ousted for opposing the dismantling of FEMA, now faces a crucial Senate vote before August recess. He pledged to make FEMA fair, objective, and more responsive to states, while also streamlining disaster response processes.
