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 good government. At the Tennessee Clean Water Network, we sued polluters for the pollution they put in our water. They tried to get away with it -- cutting corners & lobbying the government to let them pollute just a little more. But not on my watch.

Clean water is about the economy. It attracts job creators & promotes tourism. It's the lifeblood of our farms & our small business.

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 good beer. It's why East Tennessee & southern Appalachia has some of the best beer in the country.

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.
