Coming Soon: Kristen McDonald Rivet Takes Credit for the Sun Rising

August 28, 2025

Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet is trying to take credit for a “$5 million federal grant to enhance Riverbank Park in downtown Flint, which is a key part of the new state park.”

The truth:

  • The grant money came from The Land and Water Conservation Fund which was permanently reauthorized in the Dingell Act in March 2019.
  • President Trump then permanently funded the program at $900 million a year when he signed the Great American Outdoors Act into law in August 2020.

Kristen McDonald Rivet wasn’t even a member of Congress when the funding for the project passed.

“Kristen McDonald Rivet taking credit for this funding is like claiming she made the sun rise this morning. The people of Michigan aren’t fooled by her desperate lies. They see through her spin, they know she’s a failure, and they’ll make sure she’s out of a job next year.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
