My advice for the President, for Congress, is don't wait for this to just be dispersed to 50 states and tens of thousands of cities. Come up with some of these standards right now.
I'm calling nationwide for, something I call, a CARES Corps, together with Mayor David Holt of Oklahoma City, and Dr. McClellan, who used to run the FDA. We've said that we need 300,000 people.
I would welcome some sort of Federal mandates where cities have to make sure this is done equitably and affordably.
If confirmed, I look forward to building on the work of my predecessors to elevate our partnership to new heights.
