"No state appears more poised for dynasty politics to emerge than Michigan, where three senior lawmakers are inching closer to departures from the House and where a member of the Dingell family has held a congressional seat since 1932. Democratic Rep. John Dingell, the 29-term former Energy and Commerce Committee chairman, is considered likely to back either his wife or son to continue the legacy and succeed him. Both are politically active: Debbie Dingell, for years a lobbyist for the automobile industry, has long been active in Michigan Democratic Party circles. Christopher Dingell is a state judge and former state senator."
