J Street mourns the death of former Congressman John Dingell. A legendary legislator and powerful voice in American politics for over six decades, the congressman leaves behind a truly inspiring and unique legacy of public service. J Street was proud to endorse Rep. Dingell, who worked tirelessly alongside us to advocate for a peaceful two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A champion of opportunities and dignity for every person, Rep. Dingell’s distinguished work on civil rights and access to healthcare and good jobs at home complements a proud record promoting essential American interests, security and values in a world that changed profoundly during his career. We will miss his passion, his wit and his commitment to making our country and our world a better place. Our thoughts are with Rep. Debbie Dingell, the entire Dingell family and all those who knew and loved the congressman.
