Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) named Dearborn-native and long-time aide Greg Sunstrum as her Chief of Staff. Sunstrum will take over for Peter Chandler, who will begin a new role with TechNet – a trade association advocating for the innovation economy – after serving in Dingell’s office for more than three years.

“The ending of a Congress and the start of a new session often witness change as people decide to try new challenges and opportunities,” said Dingell. “Peter was an invaluable member of Team Dingell. For over 20 years, he dedicated his career to public service and improving the lives of working men and women, first for the people in Maine, and then in Michigan and across the country. Greg is well prepared to meet this new challenge and his experience will ensure a smooth transition into the next Congress. I’m proud of our team and look forward to continuing to serve the people of the 12th Congressional District.”

Sunstrum has been Legislative Director and Deputy Chief of Staff since Dingell came to Congress in 2015. He advised Dingell in the areas of healthcare, autos, and pensions – issues she cares deeply about and are pivotal her legislative agenda. Sunstrum began his career on Capitol Hill working for Former Congressman John Dingell after graduating from the University of Michigan. Sunstrum grew up in Dearborn, MI.

“Every day it’s an honor to come to work on behalf of the hard-working men and women of Southeast Michigan,” said Sunstrum. “Michigan’s 12^th Congressional District is my home and I’m eager to continue fighting for the issues that will make a difference in the lives of Americans.”
