“It is an honor to serve the constituents of the Maryland 2nd District for my third term.  I look forward to working hard for the people of Maryland.  I will fight for a prescription drug bill that actually lowers the cost of medicines for our seniors.  I will support an increase in the federal minimum wage so hard working men and women can support their families and pay for food, shelter, clothing and healthcare.  I will push for legislation that decreases our dependence on foreign oil, increases our development of alternate fuels, and diversifies our energy supply to become more energy independent.  I will work hard to create jobs and strengthen the Maryland economy.  I will also support a plan that requires the Iraqi security forces to take more responsibility for securing their own country so that we can bring American military personnel home,” said Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD).   

The Maryland 2nd District includes neighborhoods in Baltimore County, Harford County,
Anne Arundel County, and Baltimore City.  It also includes the Port of Baltimore, BWI-Thurgood Marshall Airport, Aberdeen Proving Ground, the National Security Agency, Fort Meade, and the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis Bay.
