I was pleased to join the Chesapeake Regional Tech Council today to discuss how we can continue to spur innovation and expand entrepreneurship in Maryland.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Maryland has been successful in expanding health coverage to 278,000 additional residents, reducing the uninsured rate from 11.3% to 6.6% in just five years.

As co-chair of the Fire Services Caucus, it is my top priority to ensure that our first responders have the resources to do their jobs safely and effectively.

I'm proud to represent 62,000 federal employees in the Fifth District, and I was so pleased to meet with representatives from NARFE to discuss how we can continue to support our federal workforce.

I was honored to meet with the Crown Prince and join County Executive Baker in presenting a ceremonial gift from Prince George's County.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Sylvester Vaughns, Sr. He and I worked together on a number of issues important to Prince George's County going back to my time serving in the State Senate.

We are very excited about this new national security partnership between the University of Maryland, College Park and the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

I am shocked and deeply disappointed that we came back after seven, eight weeks where the Republicans had the opportunity to plan what they were going to do to deal with this emergency, and we have filler this week.

We ought to pass the Senate bill.
