Congressman Glenn Ivey is seeking a veteran for a position in his Largo, Maryland district office.

“We make a covenant with our veterans, Gold Star Families, and active-duty spouses that we will care for them when they return and making sure we honor that commitment is one of my highest priorities,” he said. “That’s why I’m pleased to be working with the House of Representatives to help make sure veterans and military personnel living in America have access to our federal government and the care and services they have earned,” said Congressman Ivey.
