119th Congress
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth joined a letter alongside Representatives Kweisi Mfume and Johnny Olszewski formally requesting the Maryland Public Service Commission (“PSC”) to rescind the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (“BG&E”) utility rate increases that took effect this year and to stop any future increases for the duration of 2025. The federal lawmakers made the same request of BG&E and attached a copy of the letter they sent to the PSC.
Next Thursday at 6:30 pm, I’m going live with Maryland Secretary of Labor Portia Wu on unemployment insurance and resources for affected federal workers. I hope you will be able to join us on Facebook, X, or YouTube! RSVP and submit a question at the link below.
