Steyer in South Carolina

Steyer said he will make addressing climate change and environmental protection his top issue if he is elected. He said climate change is a genuine threat to the environment. “I am the only person in this race who will say that climate change is their number one priority,” Steyer said.

Steyer said he has visited communities across the country where people cannot drink tap water without getting sick. And most of those, he said, are minority communities. He cited Denmark, South Carolina and Flint, Michigan as examples.
