Dingell, Jayapal Announce Friendly Wager on National Championship Game

Today, ahead of the College Football Playoff National Championship Game between the University of Michigan and the University of Washington, Representatives Debbie Dingell (MI-06) and Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) announced a friendly wager on the outcome of the game. 
 
When the Wolverines maintain their position as the best team in the country, Rep. Jayapal, who represents the University of Washington, will send Rep. Dingell’s office Seattle chocolates and coffee. If the Huskies win, Rep. Dingell, who represents Ann Arbor, will send Rep. Jayapal’s office Detroit-style pizza.
 
“We started this year strong with a Wolverines win, and tonight they will finish the job,” Rep. Dingell said. “This team has fought hard, been resilient against adversity, and worked together all season, and we’re all behind them as they take on the Huskies tonight. I’m looking forward to celebrating a National Championship victory with coffee and chocolates from Rep. Jayapal. Go Blue!” 
 
"The Huskies have been dominant this season, and I can't wait to see them cap off an incredible run with a win over Michigan tonight in the National Championship!" said Congresswoman Jayapal. "I'm looking forward to seeing Washington capture our third title tonight and celebrating with my office with some Detroit-style pizza. Go Dawgs!"
 
Number one Michigan will take on number two Washington at 7:30PM ET in Houston.
