Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) is launching a contest inviting residents of Michigan’s 12^th Congressional District to submit photos and vote on her new Facebook and Twitter cover photo. 

“We want to capture the spirit of the 12th District. It’s one of the best places in this country to live - our parks, waterways, festivals, parades, churches, schools, food, and countless places to enjoy the outdoors or snuggle inside by the fire.” said Dingell. “It's who we are, and we want others to see the 12th through the eyes of those who live here and share with others the best of our communities online.”

Photos featuring the 12 District may be submitted by the close of business on Wednesday, July 15^th in three ways:

• Post the photo on Instagram with the hashtag, #MI12PicContest
• Tag @RepDebDingell on Twitter with the same hashtag, #MI12PicContest
• Tag @RepDebbieDingell on Facebook with the same hashtag and a description of the photo

Photos should be submitted by the photographer, along with the location where the photo was taken. The three finalists will be uploaded to Congresswoman Dingell’s Facebook page and the photo with the most likes by 5 p.m. on Monday, July 20^th will become Dingell’s new cover photo on Facebook and Twitter. 

Dingell also recently launched a newly revamped website to better serve residents of the 12^th District. The website includes a new “Action Center” where constituents can easily access information about services the office provides; a voting center that tracks the Congresswoman’s recent votes and provides information about active bills in Congress; and “Debbie’s Blog,” where the Congresswoman shares weekly posts about why she voted the way she did. Residents of the 12^th District are encouraged to stay in touch and contact the office anytime.
