Issues: Executive Branch Infrastructure

Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence (MI) joined by Rep. John Conyers (MI) and Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Rep. Cedric Richmond sent a letter to the Trump administration calling for support for the Flint Water Crisis:

"On this three-year anniversary of the Flint Water Crisis, we are sending a letter to President Trump calling for stronger efforts to address the ongoing crisis.

"Failed leadership from President Trump will cause the residents of Flint to suffer even more--the President's proposed budget would have disastrous impacts on the funding necessary to address their infrastructure needs. The Flint Water Crisis is far from over and requires our continued support. A crisis like this should never happen in America, and we cannot abandon the people of Flint now when they need strong leadership the most."
