Debbie Dingell on 2016 Loss: ‘We Weren’t Talking Enough About Bread and Butter Issues’

‘We forgot that we’ve got to be out there showing working men and women that we understand their issues’

DINGELL: "And it wasn’t just my state. I didn’t realize she hadn’t been to Wisconsin. I think it was — we forgot the base. We forgot that we’ve got to be out there showing working men and women that we understand their issues, that we’re going to fight for them, we're going to fight to keep that pension safe. We’re not showing them we understand their health care has gone up, the prescription drug costs have gone up. We weren’t talking enough about bread and butter issues that impact working men and women across this country."
