​Flint faith leaders endorse Hillary Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

ELKO, NEVADA Three ministers from Flint, Michigan endorsed Hillary Clinton on Monday, citing her commitment to helping the city overcome it's debilitating water crisis.

Clinton traveled to Flint earlier this month, two days ahead of the New Hampshire primary, where she pledged to "keep the spotlight bright" on the city's needs.

"I thank God for Hillary Clinton's recent visit to Flint, Michigan," said Rev. Al Harris in a statement shared by the Clinton campaign. "She didn't use the 'water crisis' as a platform to further her political agenda. I was overwhelmed by her sincere love and compassion for the people of Flint, as she pledged her full support in doing everything it takes to make our fractured community whole."

Harris was joined by Rev. Hubert Miller and Bishop Roger L. Jones Sr., in offering his endorsement to Clinton.

Clinton has also encouraged her supporters to donate to the Flint Child Health and Development Fund. In a fundraising email sent Sunday, Clinton included a link to FlintKids.org, instead of her own website.

.....But the ministers who endorsed Clinton on Monday noted that Clinton is the only candidate to make a visit to Flint.



"No other candidates have shown their presence during this entire water crisis that we are facing," said Jones. "She vowed to help our people and not turn her back on us nor forget about us."

Sanders is scheduled to make two campaign stops in Michigan on Monday in Ypsilanti, home of Eastern Michigan University, and Dearborn, where he will rally with union members.
