Atlanta, Ga. – Tea Party Patriots President and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement today, applauding Rob Gaudet and the Cajun Navy for their extraordinary relief efforts.

“Tea Party Patriots wants to extend thanks to one of our former members, Rob Gaudet, for helping to organize another grassroots citizen movement, the Cajun Navy. His volunteer efforts, along with many others, were crucial as he directed the efforts from behind the scenes to rescue thousands during The Great Louisiana Flood of 2016. You can follow flood relief efforts and volunteer through Rob’s foundation, The Cajun Relief Foundation, whose mission is to assist Louisiana citizens who fall through the cracks and raise awareness of the long road ahead for survivors.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected and may God bless the people of Louisiana as they rebuild their homes and lives, they remain an inspiration for the nation.”
