Dingell family in office for 90+ years: Locals praise pavement-pounding, critics say it indicts incumbency
Rep. Debbie Dingell has held office for a decade, but her family has represented in the same general region of Michigan for almost a century, since Rep. John Dingell Sr. took office in 1933. In an interview with Fox News Digital, however, Dingell, a Democrat, stressed she is not concerned with the idea she is continuing a record-breaking family legacy but instead the "quality" of work she does in-the-moment for the people in her district. "I love my husband very much. And I'm proud of my last name. But I have to get up every day and earn the respect of the people that I represent. And I have to deliver for my constituents every day," Dingell said. "Most important to me is being a voice in a room and at the table for the people that I represent." Dingell's own lineage, like her husband's (Rep. John Dingell Jr.) and father-in-law's, is also one that epitomizes the area she represents. She is the great-granddaughter of one of the Fisher Brothers – whose Fisher Bodyworks company became an early component of what is now General Motors. "Home is home to me," she said. "My district is a very complicated district. [It's] Mini-America. Downriver (southwest of Detroit) is home – they have a manufacturing legacy, but they have a lot of environmental issues, and I'm really proud of some of the things I did from the moment I stepped into this job." Dingell spoke of regularly being on the phone with agencies from FEMA to healthcare, saying she always wants to "talk to people directly" and not politicize pressing issues. "I don't have entourages because I don't believe in them. I love my staff… but I want people to talk to me directly … I go to farmer's markets every weekend because that's where [constituents are]." Dingell supporters point to her willingness to work across the aisle, as the congresswoman said: "We've got to respect … [and] listen to each other." In the century since Dingell Sr. took office, politics has gotten nastier, or as Dingell put it, "what we've lost in the legislative process is trust – people don't get to know each other anymore." National Wildlife Federation CEO Collin O'Meara called Dingell and Dingell Jr. the "hardest-working people" he's worked with. "I think in the conservation world, they're just kind of legendary figures," he said, noting that Dingell Sr. was a leader in the space as well, drafting the "Dingell-Johnson Act" in 1950 that helped restore sportfishing and continues to be utilized today. The Dingells were instrumental in the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act and other key laws, he said, adding Dingell has led major cleanup efforts around Michigan while also leading nationally on conservation, including via caucus chairmanships. O'Meara said that Dingell and her family have been "versatile lawmakers" in a Washington full of "one-trick ponies." David Hecker, a former state president of American Federation of Teachers, said Dingell has supported domestic manufacturing, workers' rights and education issues. "The congresswoman is everywhere, informing, but moreso listening: to needs and concerns of her constituents and supporting community organizations," Hecker said. Trenton, Mich., Mayor Steve Rzeppa told Fox News Digital that Dingell and Dingell Jr., could not be "bigger fighters" in Congress. Rzeppa's earliest political work was in Dingell Jr.'s district office. "It's tough to even put into words what you learn working for someone like that," he said. "It was really more a way of living and serving others than it was a set of certain skills." Rzeppa said the political family have been "champions" of the local auto industry, universal healthcare and conservation – recalling them also greeting workers at plants' shift-change. Bentley Johnson of the League of Conservation Voters called the Dingells' district a "fascinating case study" as the home of UAW and heavy-industry workers who were longtime Democrats who have been trending more toward President Donald Trump or independent affiliation. "In a lot of ways, it's a microcosm of the country in terms of political polarization. But what is interesting is that we see water and outdoor recreation as classic examples of issues that are top priorities for people across the entire political spectrum," Johnson said. Johnson said the Dingells recognize that and that as "problem-solvers," there is "no situation too complex or politically sticky that they won't throw themselves into to try and find a solution." Local colleges also praised the Dingells' tenure, with spokespeople for both the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University crediting their support for the institutions. "Congresswoman Debbie Dingell has been an incredible supporter of Michigan Medicine, and we are fortunate to have someone of her caliber represent our students, faculty, staff and patients," said Mary Masson, a spokesperson for UMich-Health. "As a lifelong resident of Ann Arbor and former local elected official, I've had the honor of working over many years with Debbie Dingell and, before her, John Dingell," added Eastern Michigan administrator Leigh Greden. "The district has changed a lot over the years… What hasn't changed between John and Debbie is their omnipresence in the community." The lack of change, however, has been something critics of term limits and "dynastic" political families have in turn called out. Writer Andrew Sullivan previously dove into the "Dingell Dynasty" and cited several critiques of having a family in office that long. He cited journalist Philip Klein's take that it is an indictment of incumbency. "[Dingell Jr.] was re-elected over and over again due to the way congressional districts are drawn up and because incumbents have such a huge money and influence advantage that it creates a barrier to entry for any potential challengers," he said according to Sullivan. "The United States was created by a revolution against a monarchy, and yet Americans have had an unhealthy obsession with political dynasties," added Klein, who noted that at the time, the nation was flirting with dynastic presidencies of Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush. "And seriously, does anybody believe that Caroline Kennedy is the most qualified person in the country to serve as ambassador to Japan?" he wrote. Outside The Beltway writer Doug Mataconis said following Dingell's primary win to succeed her husband, "as a general rule, there is something unhealthy about both political dynasties and long-term incumbency, and the Dingell case provides ample examples of both." "Congressional seats such as Dingell's are made virtually immune from challenge by the opposing party … there is just something distasteful about the fact the same family has held the same congressional seat since Franklin Roosevelt was first elected to the presidency." Dingell Jr.'s tenure by itself remains the longest of any member – at 59 years. Former Democratic Sens. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, and Carl Hayden of Arizona, and ex-Rep. Jamie Whitten of Mississippi all served about 50 years as did Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Former Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, served 49. At the state level, the "Byrd Machine," led by Democratic Sen. Harry Byrd, famously controlled Virginia's politics for almost all of the 20th century.

With Fanatics and Blackstone Heft, CGC Cards Aims at PSA for Grading
In the world of sports card grading, the billionaire-owned PSA is ubiquitous. It's the market share leader in card grading, and in the past year, it inked high-profile partnerships with eBay and GameStop, helping the company tally more than 80 million graded items in its 34-year history. But business history shows that an industry rarely can be dominated by one participant for very long. And in sports card grading, another deep-pocketed challenger is emerging. Certified Collectibles Group, which got its start authenticating collectible coins in the late 1980s, is seeing its young sports card grading business boom. More from Fanatics, NFL Defeat Antitrust Case Over Merchandise Restrictions Fanatics Accused of Conspiring With Leagues, Unions on High Card Prices GameStop Dipping Its Toe Into Trading Card, Collectibles Market CGC Cards operates under the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) subsidiary owned by Certified Collectibles Group; CGC grades pop culture-related items. Sports card grading by CGC Cards is up 631% in the first half of 2025 compared to the year prior, with June setting a monthly record for the business with 570,000 cards graded. 'I am very confident the second half of this year will be bigger for us than the first half,' Certified Collectibles Group president Max Spiegel said on a video call. 'We're owned by Blackstone, we're well capitalized, we have the financial backing to stand behind everything we're doing.' Blackstone acquired the majority of Certified Collectibles in 2021 in a deal valuing the business at $500 million. The deal included personal investment by Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, Jay-Z's Roc Nation and five other sports and private equity figures. The purchase came just four months after Mets owner Steve Cohen, hedge fund manager Dan Sundheim and venture capitalist Nat Turner paid $853 million for PSA's parent, Collectors Universe. While Certified Collectibles Group long ago expanded beyond coins to be well-known in comic books, magazines and trading card games, sports card grading had only just started at Certified Collectibles when the Blackstone syndicate bought the company. But Certified Collectibles knew with the private equity behemoth behind it, it had a chance to take advantage of what it perceived as a weakness in PSA's business. 'The whole reason we got into this space is back when Collectors Universe was a publicly traded company they kept saying they had a backlog, a bigger and bigger backlog, boasting about this backlog,' Spiegel said. 'That's not something you should boast about. Collectors hate backlogs, dealers hate backlogs. We said, we could get into this space, build a highly scaled company that could do it faster.' In the four years since CGC Cards began grading sports cards, the business has amassed 7% market share—and it appears to be rising quickly. In June, PSA graded 1.43 million cards, up 24% from the same month in 2024, while CGC Cards placed second at 428,000, up 14%, according to data from which tracks the card grading industry. In third was SGC, which was bought by PSA's parent last year, which graded 158,000 cards, followed by Beckett, with 63,000 cards. Spiegel estimates CGC Cards probably will put its number on 4.5 million sports cards this year. 'We're a faster, more affordable option,' he said. CGC Cards' website lists pricing starting at $17 for one card valued up to $1,000, with a 30-day turnaround time; it rises to a max cost of $2,500 for the most valuable cards, with a grading turnaround time for the priciest cards of two days. PSA starts at $24.99 for the same entry-level tier for a single card, with a 45-day turnaround, and goes up to $9,999 for cards worth $250,001 to $350,000, with additional fees of $399 per $10,000 of value above that level. PSA's turnaround time for top level cards is five days, according to its website. Grading that Honus Wagner card you found in the attic will cost more than $100,000 based on the price scale. But CGC Cards says its edge is more than just price. It has its own retail strategy. Walmart stocks 'Gems of the Game,' repackaged unopened packs of sports cards with one CGC-graded card inserted, which sell out almost immediately, Spiegel said. The Fanatics connection helps too. Last September CGC Cards opened a grading service at Fanatics Collect's Oregon facility, grading on site to provide seamless flow to cards being sold on the Fanatics Collect website. 'We offer an extremely fast turnaround time… which is super compelling because you have a card you want to sell, like of an athlete having a great season, you want to sell pretty quickly,' Spiegel said. Turnaround there can be less than two days, he added. While the focus is on continuing to expand and market the sports card services CGC Cards offers, Spiegel says expanding into sports memorabilia isn't out of the question. Last year, autograph specialist James Spence Authentication was bought by Certified Collectibles. 'PSA is well established, they're going to get a significant portion of the business,' Spiegel said. 'But the market really wants a Coke and a Pepsi, they want an option to PSA. There's a long gap between us and them, but I think over time, given our ability to executive, we'll close that gap.'
