      John Dingell served in the House from 1955 to 2015, which is an insane length of time. His wife then succeeded him. One family having exclusive control of a Congressional district for well over half a century is kind of banana republic-ish

      I should've added that his father, John Dingell Sr., served for 22 years before him. So we are approaching a full century of exclusive-Dingell control of a particular swath of political territory in Michigan.

          The man obviously gave his constituents a reason to respect and admire him. Small wonder this would be a foreign concept to you.

          Apparently, the people in that district like them. No one forced them to continue to vote them in. They could have voted them out at any time.

          You can simultaneously acknowledge someone had good policy ideas while find it disturbing that their family controlled a Congressional district for 8 decades. Nuance.
