Statement By Rep. Dingell

November 20, 2008

Well, this was clearly a change year and I congratulate my colleague Henry Waxman on his success today. I will work closely with him on the issues facing the Energy and Commerce Committee and for a smooth transition.

What will not change, however, and what will never change, is my commitment to the working men and women of the 15th Congressional District of Michigan who have honored me with the opportunity to represent them here in Washington. That commitment - to protecting and creating jobs, to providing health care for all Americans, to working to getting our state and nation's economy back on track - is a fight I will continue to wage in Washington.
