GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY TO TESTIFY BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ‘MAKING IT IN AMERICA’

ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Martin O’Malley will testify before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee at a hearing focusing on job creation, infrastructure investment, and “Making it in America.”  The Governor was invited to testify by Minority Leader Pelosi and Minority Whip Hoyer to offer the unique perspective of a Governor on the importance of investing in our infrastructure, innovation, and other job-creating initiatives.

“Make it in America” is a legislative initiative led by House Democrats to revitalize manufacturing in America, create new good-paying jobs, and make our nation more secure.  This effort builds on House Democratic actions since the start of the recession to create jobs and lay a strong new foundation for our new economy.

Also testifying at tomorrow’s hearing will be Mayor Michael Nutter from the City of Philadelphia, and representatives from the AFL-CIO, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, and the Association of Civil Engineers.
