U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.:
“I am deeply saddened to hear of my friend Frank Kelley’s passing. Frank made history as the nation’s longest-serving attorney general. Those who have followed have been measured by the high bar he set for public service and consumer protection. It was an honor and a pleasure to serve with Frank in state government. And I am thinking of his family today as we mourn the loss of a true legend.”
Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell of Dearborn, whose late husband, John Dingell, was a longtime friend of Kelley:
“Frank Kelley and John Dingell were friends for nearly 70 years, and he was a friend and mentor I could trust with my whole heart. He fought hard for the underdog, cared deeply about people, and cherished the role he played in protecting democracy and human rights.
