Up North Progressive

Dan Kildee represents the people of Michigan’s 5th Congressional District – a job he has done well since 2013. The Flint native continues to fight for the people of his district. On November 6 he needs your vote to continue that fight.

Kildee is a Flint native. He attended Flint Northern High School and earned a degree in Community Development Administration from Central Michigan University. He is married with three children. Kildee was 18 years old when he served on the Flint Board of Education in 1977. After that, he held office on the Genesee County Board of Commissioners and as Genesee County Treasurer from 2000 to 2008. In 2002 Kildee founded the Land Bank with the purpose of redeveloping neighborhoods in cities. When his uncle, Dale Kildee announced his retirement Dan Kildee ran for his seat in 2012.

Kildee’s district includes the City of Flint. He has been a strong voice for the people after Governor Rick Snyder’s appointed emergency manager ordered the switch from the Detroit water system to the Flint River as the city’s water source. Rick Snyder will finish his final term as governor without being held responsible for the devastation he caused the city of Flint. Congressman Kildee will be needed in Michigan and Washington DC to continue working towards restoring clean drinking water in Flint – something that has yet to happen after 4 years of Flint resident living with the crisis.

Dan Kildee will continue to work in Washington representing the people of the Fifth District and fighting for the issues most important to all Americans: Jobs, improving K-12 and higher education, healthcare, and protecting the environment. Endorsements and recognition for Dan Kildee include the Sierra Club, The MEA, Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Wheelrights, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, AFSCME, and the AFL-CIO.

The people of the 5th District must send Dan Kildee back to Washington DC on November 6, 2018, To learn more about Congressman Kildee, visit his campaign website.
