On the recordFebruary 11, 2009
Today Congressman John Dingell of Michigan becomes the longest serving member in the history of the United States House of Representatives. As we observe this notable milestone in time, however, John Dingell's longevity is really a footnote that does not even begin to tell the full story of John and his wonderful partner Debbie. Fifty-four years from now, or 154 years from now, when historians look back for models of public service, John Dingell will stand among the best America has to offer. His commitment to the public good, his sense of fiduciary duty as a public servant and most of all the spirit, the passion, and the motivation that John brings to his work day in and day out, year after year, are nothing short of remarkable.
