Annapolis, Maryland – State Senator James N. Mathias has been asked by Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr. to deliver the annual President’s Day address before the Maryland State Senate this President’s Day.
“President George Washington, our first President exercised many leadership qualities including Patriotism, Civility and Fortitude to save, lead and strengthen our country. These character assets are timeless and contribute to the strength of our country today,” Stated Senator Mathias. “I am humbled to represent my fellow citizens of the Eastern Shore on this historic evening and in this historic place, to pay tribute to the first President of the United States.”

George Washington resigned his charge as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army to become the first President of the United States. This action took place in the old Maryland Senate Chamber, which has been preserved and will be the location of the evening speech.
