Dan Kildee is a U.S. representative from Flint serving Michigan’s 8th congressional district. He currently serves on the Ways and Means Committee and the Budget Committee. He also co-chairs the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force to more urgently clean up toxic PFAS chemicals.
Kildee has worked tirelessly to bring much-needed relief to Flint families. He led the fight in Congress — bringing Democrats and Republicans together — to pass a $170 million federal aid package for Flint to help remove lead pipes and expand health care for families. Congressman Kildee also worked to build stronger communities and safer neighborhoods, securing federal funds to help remove thousands of vacant and abandoned buildings in Detroit, Flint, and other cities across Michigan.
Prior to being elected to Congress, Kildee co-founded and served as president of the Center for Community Progress, a national nonprofit organization, where he was one of the nation’s leading voices on urban land reform and revitalization. He also founded Michigan’s first land bank—the Genesee County Land Bank—which is responsible for over $100 million in redevelopment in the city of Flint.
