WASHINGTON D.C. — Foreign Policy for America announced today its endorsement of Representative Dan Kildee for re-election. As Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, Rep. Kildee is running to represent Michigan’s newly drawn Eighth Congressional District, which includes his hometown of Flint.
