Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) and a bipartisan coalition of Members of Congress today toured the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, reaffirming their commitment to working together to grow the economy and promote automotive and manufacturing jobs in the United States.

“Today is always an important day as policymakers and members of the media witness firsthand that Detroit and Michigan remain in the driver’s seat when it comes to innovation and next-generation vehicle technology,” said Dingell. “The energy on the floor today was palpable, and it was both educational and fun to be with my colleagues in witnessing what hard work, grit and determination can accomplish. The cars are fun, fuel-efficient, and environmentally the cleanest they’ve ever been. There is something for every consumer and many of the cars are sexy to boot. We are going to be working hard together to ensure that the most innovative cars and trucks in the world continue to be built and debuted here in the U.S.” 

Dingell was joined by Representatives Mike Bishop (MI-8), Bill Huizenga (MI-02), Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Sandy Levin (MI-09), David Trott (MI-11) and Fred Upton (MI-06) for a tour of the Ford, FCA, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota exhibits.
