Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin revealed on Tuesday that his family was rescued from the deadly flooding in Texas last week.
His wife, Suzanne Youngkin, and other members of his family were stranded at a property they own on the Guadalupe River in Texas on Friday. Youngkin told reporters that Texas officials offered to help rescue the family, but he said they should first help out others in more immediate danger when it became apparent his family was secure.
“My family was there, along with friends, and by the grace of God, my family was safe,” Youngkin said after an event Tuesday celebrating his cutting of regulations in Virginia. “I have to say, there were moments when they weren’t.”
