Federal Workers

Federal workers are the backbone of our nation and are critical to the many government services that millions of Americans depend on. As the daughter of civil servants, the Congresswoman personally understands the vital role that our public servants play in our economy and government. Maryland’s Third District alone is home to 44,000 federal employees. Congresswoman Elfreth will always support the economic well-being and bargaining rights of our federal workers so they can do their jobs free from politicization and political manipulation.
