The new Congress is being sworn in Friday in Washington D.C. That means there are some current members set to retire, including Michigan’s long-time Democratic Congressman Dan Kildee. He’s been serving as a U.S. Representative for over a decade, and representing Michigan’s 8th District since 2003. His successor, Kristen McDonald Rivet, will take office with the 119th Congress on January 3.
Michigan Public’s Zoe Clark spoke with the outgoing Representative from Flint about his dozen years in office.
