SUMMARY: In just 11 days, we’ve accomplished 33% of our yearly goals by maximizing daily runs, with nearly 98 planes on Friday and 95 on Saturday, totaling around 400 planes overall. We’ve received great support from various states, including North Dakota, Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, and Florida. A medical plane from Kentucky checks in daily to address our needs. Witnessing the devastation in the affected areas, we strive to contribute positively in tough times. As the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the mountain people get going. I’ll remain until the last plane arrives.

Nonprofit Protect Democracy warns that natural disasters often lead to decreased turnout, highlighting the need for effective election measures. The Board prioritizes voting integrity and updates information to assist voters during this critical time.
