Congresswoman Debbie Dingell says there are a lot of challenges facing the 6th U.S. House district and asks everyone to keep fighting to protect their rights and needs. Dingell was at the Gerald R. Ford Library on Friday to give her annual State of the District address.
Dingell spoke about the long friendship she and her late husband John had with Jerry and Betty Ford. But she says the first weeks of the Trump administration has many people on edge, worried about the future because no one knows what’s going to happen next.
“Nothing’s normal. Nothing’s the same. And what I wrote yesterday changed within an hour because if you happen to be in an hour-long meeting, you don’t know what happened next.”

Dingell says she needs her constituents to let people know about the problems being created by the actions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. She says to explain how actions like freezing funding for medical research and social programs are affecting families and friends.
