Franchot Statement on Sen. Mikulski’s Retirement Announcement

“Throughout her trailblazing career in public service, Barbara Mikulski has always been a fierce champion for Maryland’s children, women and working families, and a powerful voice for Americans who otherwise would have been forgotten and left behind. Our state and our country are far better off today because of Senator Mikulski’s leadership. I am grateful for the opportunity to know this extraordinary woman and to have worked with her throughout our years in elected office, and I know that she will continue to fight for those values to which she’s dedicated her life.”
