Congressman Glenn Ivey's district office outlines resources, internship opportunities and legal support stance
Summary
A veterans and military affairs liaison for Congressman Glenn Ivey described the office's efforts to support federal employees, outlined service-academy nomination procedures, announced an unpaid summer internship and directed residents to the office website for resources related to federal actions.
Joseph Pruden, veterans and military affairs liaison with Congressman Glenn Ivey's office, briefed the Mount Rainier mayor and council on federal issues and available district services during the March 4 meeting.
Pruden criticized recent executive actions by the federal administration and said Congressman Ivey supports unions and court challenges to protect federal employees from arbitrary dismissals. He urged residents and affected workers to use the office's website (ivy.house.gov) for resources addressing federal employment, immigration, and LGBTQIA+ services and to call the district office for casework assistance.
Pruden also described the process for congressional nominations to the U.S. service academies and reminded listeners that a nomination does not guarantee admission; applicants must pass academy entrance requirements. He said the office is accepting applications for an unpaid summer internship (June'August) for Maryland's 4th Congressional District residents 18 and older; interested applicants should submit a resume and a short personal statement to the intern coordinator, Nicholas Robinson (nicholas.robinson@mail.house.gov).
The liaison said the office is standing by constituents impacted by recent federal policy changes and encouraged the city to direct residents to the district office for assistance. He concluded by inviting council members to reach out to schedule follow-up meetings.
