The Flint Water Crisis & the Kingston Coal Ash spill remind us water is life. I led the Tennessee Clean Water Network & saw that first hand. Congress is a mess. But I've cleaned up dirtier rivers than Washington before. Send in a clean water advocate & I'll clean up Congress.

Clean water is about health. It's essential to healthy people & healthy communities. East Tennessee knows that better than anyone -- the Kingston Coal Ash disaster cost 50 of our neighbors their lives & I saw the impact of the spill first-hand.

Clean water is about our kids. They need clean, safe water to grow & to learn. That's why, at the Tennessee Clean Water Network, I installed hundreds of clean drinking water fountains in schools across Tennessee.
