In Maryland, our diversity is our greatest strength, and no small part of that diversity is the 124,000 Salvadoran Americans living in Maryland. We recognize that inclusion, diversity, equal rights and an open society make our State a more innovative and creative place for business and job creation. Together, we can work to expand opportunity so that our increasingly diverse middle class can compete and win in the 21st century economy.
