Mayor Rawlings-Blake Issues Statement on the Retirement of Senator Barbara Mikulski 

BALTIMORE, Md. (March 2, 2015)—Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake issued the following statement on the retirement of Senator Barbara Mikulski:

“A pioneer, a fierce competitor, and a Baltimorean to her very core, Senator Mikulski has proudly served Maryland and the nation as an outstanding senator and as a mentor to women like myself. Senator Mikulski repeatedly shattered glass ceilings and paved the way for new generations of women leaders. Thanks to her decades of service and her readiness to 'raise hell' for her constituents, today we all enjoy a stronger, more diverse country. On behalf of the City of Baltimore, I want to thank her for all she has done for us, and I wish my good friend and mentor the very best in retirement.”
