John Dingell, the longest-serving member in the U.S. House of Representatives, will seek re-election in 2012, The Detroit News reported today.

Dingell, 84, D-Dearborn, represents the Ann Arbor area in Congress. "I can help people and … make things better," he told The News.

Dingell defeated Ann Arbor-area cardiologist Rob Steele to win a 29th term in the house last November.
