Received this e-mail today from Gretchen Whitmer’s (D. MI) gubernatorial campaign:
Little Miss Flint is standing up to President Trump.
Speaking at a rally outside the White House about Trump, 9-year-old Mari Copeny said “On the campaign trail, he promised he would fix Flint...Unfortunately, this was one promise that he failed to keep.”
Mari is right. Since taking office, Trump has failed to take any steps toward fixing the lead poisoning of Flint’s water supply. Flint residents still don’t have access to clean water because lead-damaged pipes haven’t been replaced. And thousands of children have potentially been exposed.
Like Mari, I won’t be silent about this. If you’re with us, sign the petition to demand that Donald Trump fulfill his campaign promise of bringing clean, drinkable water to Flint.
As the THIRD anniversary of the disastrous Flint water switch approaches, there are residents who are still suffering. That’s unacceptable.
We need more people like Mari who are willing to demand what is right. We’ve got to hold Washington and Lansing accountable. And we deserve elected officials who are willing to fight for the people they represent, and never back down. That’s exactly the kind of governor I will be.
I hope I can count on your support, and that you’ll sign our petition today.
Thank you,
Gretchen Whitmer
