Rep. Glenn Ivey, U.S. Congressman representing Maryland’s 4th district since 2023, used his social media platform this week to address key legislative developments and community events. Ivey commented on the reopening of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), recognized Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and highlighted his recent engagements with local youth leaders.
On April 30, 2026, Ivey posted about Congressional action to end a prolonged shutdown of DHS: “Today, Congress passed a bill to reopen DHS after House Republicans kept the department shut down for more than 70 days, cutting off funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and other critical services. In the end, they backed down without delivering any results.”
The following day, May 1, 2026, he marked Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by stating: “Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a time to recognize the rich cultures and lasting contributions of AAPI communities across our country. From small businesses to science, public service to the arts, AAPI voices continue to shape the story of America.”
Later that day, Ivey reflected on meetings with young leaders in Prince George’s County: “Over the last week, I spent time with some of the brightest young leaders in our community. From Roosevelt and Flowers High School to 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, one thing is clear: the future of PG County is in good hands. Their leadership and commitment to service”
Glenn Ivey succeeded Anthony Brown as representative for Maryland’s 4th district in 2023. Before joining Congress, he served in the Maryland House of Representatives. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts in 1961 and currently residing in Cheverly at age 62, Ivey holds degrees from Princeton University (BA) and Harvard Law School (JD).
