Dingell Likely to Succeed Dingell Who Succeeded Dingell
25th February 2014
Who will succeed John Dingell now that the long-time legislator is finally retiring from Congress at the age of 87? The smart money is on Debbie Dingell, the congressman’s wife who is three decades younger.
If this happens it will continue the family’s eight-plus decade hold on the seat. John Dingell succeeded his father in 1956.
Ever notice that political ‘dynasties’ are all either Democrats, like the Gores and Kennedys, or semi-Democrats, like the Bushes?
