U.S. Senator Barbara A.

I will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with County Executive Leggett to support jobs and opportunity for Montgomery County families."

"I want to thank Senator Mikulski for her hard work and stalwart efforts in supporting federal job growth and our cybersecurity initiative in Montgomery County," said Leggett. "Her leadership and support on education, transportation, public safety and opportunities for Maryland families have been a cornerstone of her career in public service and I look forward to continuing to work together. I applaud the Senator's steadfast commitment to improving the quality of life for working families in Montgomery County."
