Two Congressional alumni. One Twitter celebrity. A fabulous evening awaits. 

Join Michigan’s Fact Tank for Our Annual Public Policy Dinner September 20, 2018

Come gather with others who value objective public policy research at The Dearborn Inn in Dearborn for a reception, research expo, dinner, and a keynote discussion.

During the evening, we're pleased to be honoring former U.S. Representative John Dingell with our Eugene A. Gargaro, Jr. Public Service Award. Mr. Dingell is being recognized for his many contributions to our state and nation as the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. History, representing Michigan for more than 59 years.

Our Keynote Discussion will feature a balanced conversation on the state and national political landscape.  Mr. Dingell will be joined by former U.S. Representative Candice Miller, the current Macomb County Public Works Commissioner. Ms. Miller also served as the Michigan Secretary of State, Macomb County Treasurer, and Harrison Township Supervisor.

 Kimberly Gill, co-anchor of WDIV-TV local 4 News will moderate the discussion.
