The former mayor of Flint, Mich., who took over the city during a water contamination crisis that garnered national attention, endorsed Mike Bloomberg's bid for president.

Karen Weaver was among more than two dozen current and former mayors across the country to announce their support for the former New York mayor this week, as he hits the trail in California, Michigan and Pennsylvania — all central to his strategy of dominating Super Tuesday states after snubbing the first four voting states.


In endorsing Bloomberg, who was a Republican and an independent before reregistering as a Democrat ahead of this primary bid, Weaver cited his record on infrastructure.
