Instead of practicing clinically, I went into public health, rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We did things like Put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, made sure that our kids weren't breathing the worst, coming out of smokestacks, and eliminated medical debt. But I'm running because it just shouldn't be this hard. I've been down to 110 different cities. 475 public events. I could go to a living room in Lansing. (02:16–02:25)
