Every day representing #MI09 and much of the Clinton River Watershed, I am fighting to protect our water—our rivers and sewers leading into Lake St. Clair and coming out of our taps. That’s why I led water conversations in New Hampshire on why I support @ewarren for president.

As President, @ewarren will work to reinstitute the Clean Water Rule to protect our lakes, rivers, and streams, and the drinking water they provide.

.@ewarren will do all that she can to ensure bills like #PFASActionAct​ that we passed in the House do not languish under @senatemajldr McConnell's watch. It was awesome to be in Rep. @ChrisPappasNH’s district, who joined us in our press conference to demand swift Senate action.

.@ewarren has worked to designate PFAS as a hazardous substance under our environmental protection laws, so that Michigan and New Hampshire can get help cleaning up contaminated sites - and so that those responsible for the contamination have to pay for that cleanup.

@ewarren has called for reinstating and then tripling the Superfund tax, to continue to invest in​ brownfield remediation​ to ensure that we protect our communities from the legacy of environmental harm and we put people to work in the process.

As I’m working with @MichiganEGLE and @EPA to determine the cost of remediation for the #greenooze and PFAS situation in Madison Heights right now, I can tell you that funding would really help Michigan’s Ninth District!
