Flint, MI - Flint Mayor Karen Weaver has been selected to speak at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this month.

State campaign officials for Hillary Clinton officials confirmed said that Weaver, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm were all selected to speak at the event which will run from July 25 - 28 in Philadelphia.

Weaver was not immediately available for comment.

"Mayor Weaver is truly honored and has accepted the invitation to not only attend the convention, but to speak as well," said City of Flint Spokeswoman, Kristin Moore, in an emailed statement. "When she will address the crowd and what she will say is still being determined. What the Mayor does know at this time is that she is excited about the opportunity and the chance to ensure the City of Flint remains in the national spotlight."

Weaver has been vocal about her support for Clinton's run for president while Clinton also was one of Weaver's early supporters regarding the Flint water crisis.

In February, Weaver credited Clinton with helping the city get help with the crisis.

"We know things were not moving, the state was not stepping up," Weaver said at the time. "The governor wasn't moving that up until Secretary Clinton started talking about it on the political level."

Clinton featured the Flint water crisis in an ad before the Michigan primary and announced a partnership with the city for water aid ahead of a March Democratic presidential debate held in Flint.

Speech details were not immediately available.
