Rep. Glenn Ivey, U.S. Congressman representing Maryland’s 4th district, posted a series of updates on his social media account on September 23, 2025, highlighting local educational opportunities and expressing concerns about agricultural research.
In his first post at 15:08 UTC, Ivey reminded constituents about an upcoming deadline for service academy applications: “This is your reminder to submit your application for the Service Academy. The deadline for submission is September 30th. For more information, visit: https://t.co/KS7mIw75qY https://t.co/qdK3Daz7OY”.
Later that afternoon at 16:54 UTC, Ivey celebrated the University of Maryland’s national ranking among public universities by stating: “Very proud of @UofMaryland for being ranked #16 among all U.S. public universities. This milestone reflects the dedication of students, faculty, and staff who continue to drive excellence in education and research. Go Terps! https://t.co/ow0PqH7Ll8”.
In a subsequent message at 18:09 UTC, he raised concerns regarding potential changes to a major research facility: “The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) has powered U.S. agricultural innovation for over a century. Closing it would gut food security research, climate resilience breakthroughs, and public health protections nationwide—while putting more than 600 scientists out of”.
Ivey began serving in Congress in 2023 after replacing Anthony Brown and previously held office in the Maryland House of Representatives. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts in 1961 and now residing in Cheverly, Ivey graduated from Princeton University with a BA in 1983 and earned his JD from Harvard Law School three years later.
