Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) released the following statement on the news of the death of Vice President Dick Cheney.
 
“Dick Cheney was a friend of our family for decades – when John and I were first married we lived in the same neighborhood, and his children attended school with John’s. They eventually moved, but our lives would cross many times. The Fords were close friends of ours when he was President Ford’s Chief of Staff, and their children remain so. 
 
“We were friends at a time when people could civilly disagree, share, and learn from each other. We had very strong policy differences, but it was a time when you still worked together. Dick Cheney impacted American history and wasn’t afraid to say what he thought, in recent years expressing his fears for our democracy. My thoughts are with his family.”
