Cam Cavitt

State Rep. Cam Cavitt today celebrated President Donald Trump’s announcement of additional federal funds for ice storm relief.

The announcement comes after months of effort by Michigan House Republicans to secure federal disaster relief funding in the aftermath of ice storms that devastated Northern Michigan in spring of 2025.

“I witnessed the devastation the ice storm brought firsthand,” said Cavitt (R-Cheboygan). “The damage more closely resembled a hurricane than a winter storm. I’m glad President Trump took matters into his own hands and secured this funding for our communities. Northern Michigan has been doing everything it can to recover for more than a year. These funds from President Trump are the culmination of months of hard work and close partnership between House Republicans and the White House. I’m proud to see our work pay off.”

Cavitt told The News on Wednesday that more information about the amount and where the federal government intends to allocate the money from will be available at a later date.
