House Passes Single Largest Investment in College Aid Since GI Bill, Including $204 Million for Maryland Students & Families
In 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the GI Bill into law, launching the greatest government led initiative in our nation’s history to invest in higher or continuing education. The original law enabled 7.8 million veterans of World War II to participate in education or job training programs and is credited for its redeeming impact on the post-war national economy and in building a sustained American middle-class.

Teachers are the Stewards of Our Children’s Future
This week we pay tribute to some of the most important individuals in our nation: our educators. Teachers hold the future of America in their hands.

I hope Marylanders will join me in honoring our teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our communities.
