U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement after the House of Representatives approved an amendment to the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) that would provide $170 million in federal aid to Flint. The House and Senate will now reconcile their differing versions of the legislation.

"Tonight was a first step toward finally bringing hope to the people of Flint. We will not stop working until this measure crosses the finish line and Flint families receive the resources they need and deserve. Members of the Michigan delegation -- Democrats and Republicans -- are committed to ensuring Congress upholds its commitment to the families of Flint."
