Congress pauses to remember its longest serving member, John Dingell
over 5 years in Roll Call
In the last 24 hours of his long life, John D. Dingell, 92, was visited by a few old friends and House colleagues. One of them was House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who eulogized Congress’ longest serving member Thursday, and recalled that even in his final hours, Dingell “was in command.”
“We talked for an hour about what was, what had been and what should be,” Hoyer said at Dingell’s second funeral Thursday.
