“Today belongs to John Dingell, one of the greats and the very definition of a man of the House. His devotion to his constituents and his country, the many battles he’s fought and won on behalf of the American people, and the sheer joy he takes in his work have made him synonymous with this institution. I’m honored to call John a good friend, and I know the whole House joins me in congratulating him on this milestone.” House Speaker John Boehner congratulating Rep. John Dingell (R-MI) on becoming the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history, with 57 years, five months, and 26 days of service.
