Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) today announced that her Dearborn district office will welcome a new caseworker following the retirement of long-time staff member Shelly Burgor. Burgor first began serving as a caseworker under former Congressman John Dingell and has assisted constituents with immigration, Social Security, and Medicare issues since 2012.

“For years, Shelly has been a steadfast, passionate advocate for our students, seniors and families,” said Dingell. “She tackles every challenge with energy, determination and humor, and her commitment to the people of the 12th District is unmatched. We wish Shelly all the best in her well-deserved retirement and thank her for her tireless work that has benefitted countless people in Southeast Michigan and beyond. She will be greatly missed.”

On September 23rd, Jannine Kadri will assume the role of constituent services representative in Dingell’s Dearborn office, where she will oversee immigration casework and manage outreach to the Arab American community and other special projects. Kadri most recently served as a legal assistant at Farhat Law in Dearborn and previously worked as an Arabic-English translator at the Arab American Language Institute. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Jannine to our team and know that her unique background and skillset will be a huge asset to our district staff team,” added Dingell. “Representing the people of Michigan’s 12th District is our top priority, and we will continue working hard to ensure their voices are heard and issues addressed.” 

“It is with great enthusiasm that I join Congresswoman Dingell's team,” said Kadri. “I share her passion for helping people and it is an honor to serve the people of the 12th District.”
