Moolenaar | M001194 | moolenaar.house.gov | moolenaar | https://moolenaar.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | This weekend, former Congressman Dan Benishek passed away. Benishek represented Michigan's First Congressional District for three terms and he was first elected to Congress in 2010. "Dan loved northern Michigan and the UP. He was humble and down-to-Earth, and he worked hard everyday for Michiganders and their interests," said Congressman John Moolenaar, who served alongside Benishek in 2015 and 2016. "He passed legislation to help protect the Sleeping Bear Dunes for future generations, and as a doctor he fought for better health care for veterans. I will miss Dan, and my prayers are with his family and friends as they mourn his passing and celebrate his legacy of service to northern Michigan." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
