This Democrat Running For President Wants To Prevent Lead Poisoning In Other Communities After A Visit To Flint
Julián Castro, the former Housing and Urban Development secretary now running for president, wants to eliminate lead poisoning, laying out the first dedicated plan on the issue of any 2020 candidate after a visit to Flint, Michigan over the weekend.
“Today I’m putting forward a plan to combat lead exposure across the country, and to ensure that no families experience what those in Flint have had to endure,” Castro said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. For people who have tested with high levels of lead poisoning, Castro’s plan includes provisions for treating lead poisoning under universal health care, mandatory lead testing for children under two-years-old, and “support services including counseling, tutoring, education on nutritional needs.”
