Committee Work
Here is information regarding committee
assignments for Maryland’s U.S. Senators
and Congressional Representatives as part
of the 113th Congress:
Both Congressman Sarbanes and
Congressman Delaney echoed the
importance of investing in dredging and
the transportation infrastructure.
“Working with my colleagues in the
Maryland congressional delegation, we
will provide federal resources to keep
the Port properly dredged so that modern
cargo vessels can enter and exit safely,”
Congressman Sarbanes said. “We are also
committed to eliminating chokepoints
in the rail and highway infrastructure
that service the Port. By making these
investments now, we can help secure our
economic future.”
“From the beginning, our state has
prospered when we’ve had the ability to
connect the coast with the interior, right
back to the days of the C&O Canal.”
Congressman Delaney said. “I introduced
bipartisan legislation, the Partnership
to Build America Act, to help finance
infrastructure projects like these. This will
increase economic efficiency and make the
U.S. more competitive in global trade.”
