Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on Flint Registry Unveiling

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) issued the following statement today after Michigan State University announced the opening of the Flint Registry, a new community resource to help connect Flint families with resources to recover from the ongoing water crisis:

“I am pleased to see this community resource become available for Flint families. The Flint Registry will help connect families affected by the water crisis with resources to help minimize the effects of lead exposure. In Congress, I fought alongside Senators Stabenow and Peters for federal aid to fund this registry, and I continue to advocate for additional resources to help Flint recover.

“This registry would not have been possible without the people of Flint standing together and demanding the resources they are entitled to. I want to thank Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the Greater Flint Health Coalition, the city of Flint, Michigan State University and the Pediatric Public Health Initiative for their hard work to make this a reality.”
