John Conyers, 86, to seek another term after 52 years in Congress
DETROIT, MI — U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, first elected to Congress in 1964, plans to seek yet another term.
The 86-year-old congressman has scheduled a pair of Monday events launching his re-election campaign in Detroit and Redford.
He'll be seeking 27th consecutive term.
After 50 years in office, Conyers' last run was briefly put in jeopardy when he was found ineligible for the ballot because a pair of campaign workers were not registered voters when they circulated petitions for his ballot application.
A judge later reversed that finding, ordering Conyers' name placed on the ballot. He won that election by a wide margin.
Conyers is ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. He was the committee's first African-American chair between 2007 and 2011.
He is the dean and a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Conyers has been the longest serving member of Congress since former U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, the all-time longest-serving member, retired in 2014.
