Congresswoman Debbie Dingell represents Michigan’s 12th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she has made it a priority to be a voice for the Midwest on issues that matter most to working families. A member of the Energy and Commerce and Natural Resources Committees, Debbie is a leader on efforts to grow manufacturing, improve access to quality affordable health care, support seniors and veterans, protect the Great Lakes, and conserve the environment for generations to come.
Recognized as one of the 25 hardest-working Members of Congress, Debbie is focused on forging bipartisan solutions that support Michigan’s families and economy, including improving long-term care and ushering in the future of the American auto industry. Before being elected to Congress, Debbie worked in the auto industry for more than three decades, where she was President of the General Motors (GM) Foundation and a senior executive responsible for public affairs. She was also Chairman of the Wayne State University (WSU) Board of Governors, and continues to fight to make education more affordable and accessible in Congress.
On May 6, 2015 the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library hosted an event organized by the University of Michigan Bentley Historical Library, honoring former Congressman John Dingell for his donation of more than 550 boxes of papers from his 59-year career in Congress. The program featured a "fireside chat" with Congressman Dingell (seated left) and Bentley Library Director Terry McDonald (seated right).
