MI-08: Dan Kildee (D)
Born and raised in Flint, Rep. Dan Kildee is a lifelong Michigander. In Congress, he has proven he can bring people together and get real results for his constituents and mid-Michigan.
Kildee has worked to pass multiple economic relief bills for Michigan families, seniors and small businesses. He has successfully focused on getting direct economic aid to working families, speeding up vaccine distribution, reopening our schools safely and supporting small businesses.
Kildee secured hundreds of millions of dollars to help strengthen neighborhoods, raise home values and make communities safer by removing abandoned houses across Michigan, including in Flint and Saginaw. He also led the fight to stop a Canadian company from burying nuclear waste less than a mile from the Great Lakes, and co-chairs the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force to more urgently clean up toxic PFAS chemicals in the drinking water.
During the water crisis in Flint, Kildee worked tirelessly to bring much-needed relief to Flint families. He led the fight to secure $100 million to help replace lead pipes and expand health care to residents. Kildee also worked to expand Medicaid for families, establish the Flint Registry and fund critical support services for children, including Head Start education and nutritious foods.
