WISCONSIN (WEAU) - In a letter sent to President Donald Trump, Wisconsin lawmakers, including Derrick Van Orden and Tammy Baldwin, ask for Wisconsin’s request for a major disaster declaration.

This was following several rounds of severe storms in April which resulted in widespread flooding and damage throughout the state.
