For many Americans, the deserted neighborhoods and dilapidated homes emblematic of the housing crisis are a recent phenomenon, but U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, Michigan's new congressman from Flint, has been dealing with the issue for much of his life.
Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township, has been appointed assistant whip for the new congressional term by Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer.
Just a few days into his freshman term, newly sworn U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee has been appointed by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer to serve as an assistant whip for the 113th Congress, he announced today.
In his new role, Kildee will assist the House Democratic leadership in managing legislative matters on the floor.
Through a sea of falling streamers and multi-colored balloons, the name “Kildee” could be seen on large banners on election night, cementing a new congressman in the 5th District.
But U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, who was sworn into the 113th U.S. Congress last week, never forgot where he came from.
A new Congress was sworn into office Thursday with one less Michigander than it had before, and a couple of new Michigan faces making their first official appearances on the House floor.
