Flint mayor endorses Hillary Clinton after work on toxic water crisis

Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in the Michigan city, where lead-poisoning has left residents without safe drinking water for nearly two years

The mayor of Flint, the Michigan city whose residents are drinking from water bottles after their drinking water was rendered toxic, endorsed Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, praising her campaign's work in spotlighting the crisis there.

"If this was a test, she has really come to the forefront and passed it because we in Flint need some help and we need it now," Karen Weaver said on a conference call organized by the Clinton campaign.
