So thankful that @60Minutes is covering this important story about water in Jackson and more grateful still that I could play a small part in it on behalf of @USWaterAlliance!
“We should all care about what's happening in Jackson, Mississippi because the truth is that aging infrastructure is impacting communities across this country, from where I live, to where you probably live,” says Emily Simonson of the U.S. Water Alliance. https://t.co/OzEMZRYTMV

I was honored to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of the Clean Water Act today in Cleveland. We’ve made a lot of great progress over these 50 years, but there’s much more to be done! Thanks @Michael_S_Regan @radhikafox for your leadership at @EPA on this journey.

Affordability is a personal, lived topic, as is water. We need to see water as a public good, starting with a significant shift in our systems, co-investment, and financial & funding innovation. Thanks @OneWaterMami and @rwillette for working with me here!
