Here are other recent tweets from Marie Newman:

"I'm proud to name this bill after Matt Haller, an Illinois resident who passed away from stomach cancer that is believed to have been linked to the local EtO sterilization plant near his home.
Matt fought for his community to shut down this plant. I'm proud to say he succeeded."

"Carcinogenic chemicals like EtO are banned for food sterilization in countries across Europe but not in the US.
In fact, regulations don't even require labeling to let consumers know if these chemicals were used.
I'm introducing the Matt Haller EtO Awareness Act to change that."
