Marklein announced his candidacy in April 2013 well before Sen. Schultz made his decision not to run.

Toledo Residents are Advised Not to Drink the Water

Excerpt from video:  Nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, found in sewage and fertilizer, overfeed the algae, and the lake, made warmer by climate change, provides a comfortable environment for the algae to thrive..  (The link is to "Battling the Bloom: Lake Erie", which has just 813 views.  Should be seen by millions.)

The primary source is agricultural run-off.
