WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) issued the following statement about former Congressman Joe Knollenberg:
“Throughout his sixteen years of service in Congress, Joe worked tirelessly to represent the people of Southeast Michigan. He cared deeply about his country and his state, and he remained active in his community even after his service in Congress ended. Joe was a true statesman and a well-respected gentleman—exactly the kind of person you want to see in public service. My thoughts are with his family and friends, and I hope they can take a small measure of comfort in knowing that his legacy of dedication and public service to the people of Michigan will live on.”
