Welcome to the 4th Annual Southern Maryland Hiring Event and Business-to-Business Lunch. What an incredibly successful event this has been over the past four years, with more than 1,000 people participating last year.
Newsroom
We are writing to express our strong support for Governor Hogan's May 21, 2015 request for a Major Disaster declaration for the City of Baltimore.
I was honored to make a presentation of the flag under which so many have served to those who have done so with distinction and with honor.
We write to reiterate our unified support for the Red and Purple Lines in Maryland and continued commitment to ensuring the success of these critical projects.
I am proud of the extraordinary work our principals and teachers do every day to educate and inspire our Fifth District students.
On Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation and in defense of our liberty.
I was pleased to have Secretary Jewell, who has been an outstanding spokesperson for America's natural resources and a fighter for conservation, visit Douglas Point today.
I rise in support of this sixty-day extension, because it's essential that we do this. The consequences of not doing it would be very, very negative. But I also rise to lament the fact that we have gone ten months knowing full well that this date was upon us and that, theoretically we thought, that funding as well as authorization would end on the 31st of this month.
I am honored to be here today to celebrate the graduates; to thank President Jordan, the faculty, and staff; and to express my joy to the parents, siblings, and extended family who are gathered here to mark this wonderful occasion.
For 34 years, I have been a strong supporter of bipartisan defense authorization bills passed by Congress, but I could not vote for the defense authorization bill passed today because it doubles down on the policy of sequestration and undermines our national security.
I was deeply saddened to learn of the tragic derailment last night in Philadelphia.
I was honored to receive the Navy's Distinguished Public Service Award yesterday from Secretary Mabus.
I was proud to see so many bright young people at the Patriots Youth Summit today who are excited about technology and science.
We write to strongly support the request made earlier today of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake of Baltimore to have the Civil Rights Division open a federal "pattern or practice" investigation of the Baltimore Police Department (BPD).
I joined with many other Members to oppose this year's Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bill out of a deep concern that it does not adequately fund the needs of our veterans.
