Democratic 
presidential 
candidates Jay Inslee and Elizabeth 
Warren both visited Detroit on 
Tuesday. Inslee has been governor 
of the state of Washington since 
2013 and has focused his campaign 
on environmental issues. Warren, a 
Massachusetts senator, has created 
a progressive campaign focused on 
rebuilding the middle class and 
fighting 
corruption. 
According 
to Real Clear Politics averages, 
Warren and Inslee currently poll 
at 8.3 and 0.5 percent, respectively.
On Tuesday morning, Jay Inslee 
spoke with three environmental 
justice leaders in the 48217 zip 
code of Detroit, which has been 
referred to as “most polluted zip 
code in Michigan.” The event was 
composed of a walking tour around 
the Kemeny Recreation Center 
and the neighboring Marathon 
Petroleum refinery.
Inslee’s campaign has been 
focused on combating climate 
change and he highlighted the 
progress Washington has made 
under his leadership in combating 
climate change. When asked about 
why he was visiting Detroit, Inslee 
emphasized 
the 
environmental 
impact of the fossil fuel industry on 
the communities they operate in.
“I’m in Detroit to see the 
problems that the fossil fuel 
industry, specifically the oil and 
gas industry, causes the residents 
of this area,” Inslee said. “I have 
proposed a plan to wean us off of 

fossil fuels so that these families 
don’t have to breathe these fumes 
and their children don’t have to 
be exposed to asthma and cancer, 
which appears to be a higher rate 
here.”
Theresa Landrum, a Detroit 
resident who has been working 
since the 1980s to clean up 
pollution, lead most of the walk. 
She said she has lived in the area 
her whole life and remembers what 
the community center looked like 
before the refinery moved in.
“Marathon and I-75 have taken 
up wetlands; we had possum, the 
fox, the raccoons, the gardener 
snake, the turtles. We used to 
play there as children,” Landrum 
said. “Every home had a garden, 
every home had five to six fruit 
trees. They have all died out, and I 
contribute that to the emissions in 
the air. If the vegetation dies out, 
what is that doing to human life?”
Landrum 
talked 
about 
the 
impact the Marathon plant has had 
on the surrounding community, 
which she said has been widely 
felt.
“We need doctors to be to be 
trained to be able to identify more 
environmentally-related diseases,” 
Landrum said. “We know that 
we are a vulnerable community. 
We should not be compared to a 
healthy community when it comes 
to national standards. You have to 
compare a vulnerable community 
with a vulnerable community.”
