WASHINGTON â€” Representative John D. Dingell Jr., Democrat of Michigan, the longest-serving member of Congress in history, was expected to announce on Monday that he will not seek re-election in 2014, and will leave Congress in 2015.

Mr. Dingell, 87, has served in the House for more than 58 years.

He made his first appearance on the House floor at the age of 6, when his father was elected in 1933; he went on to become a congressional page; and after his father died in 1955 he successfully ran for his seat at the age of 29.
