BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III is traveling to Flint, Michigan, to learn about the city’s water crisis.
The Massachusetts congressman will begin Saturday joining fellow Democrat, Congressman Dan Kildee of Michigan, at a meeting with the Community Foundation of Greater Flint to receive an update on recovery efforts.
The two will then do a walking tour of the Flint Farmers’ Market to discuss the need for Flint residents to have access to healthy foods and affordable health care.
The visit comes a day after Kennedy traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, Friday to visit Magnolia Clubhouse, which offers a community-based approach to behavioral health care.
