In a Washington Post op-ed published the day after his death, former Congressman John Dingell Jr. reflected on Congress’ progressive accomplishments and reminded readers that lawmakers serve at the pleasure of the American people. The Michigan Democrat, who was the longest-serving member of Congress and held office in the House from 1955 to 2015, died Thursday at age 92. He dedicated the op-ed to his wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, who succeeded him in office after his retirement. If they misuse or abuse that public trust, it is quite properly revoked (the quicker the better).”A public funeral mass will be held Tuesday in Dearborn, Michigan. Read the full op-ed at The Washington Post.
