WASHINGTON — Rep. John Dingell, the iron-fisted Michigan Democrat and advocate for Detroit’s automakers, was honored Tuesday by former President Bill Clinton and congressional leaders as he became the longest-serving House member in history.
Dingell, who succeeded his late father in Congress in 1955, will begin his 19,420th day in Congress today, surpassing the late Rep. Jamie Whitten, D-Miss.
