The legislation will now be considered in the U.S. Senate before the midnight deadline to keep the government open. “For nine months, our bipartisan Maryland Congressional Delegation fought constantly to spearhead the Baltimore BRIDGE Relief Act through Congress. The adoption of this bill into the legislation we voted on this evening to keep the government open – and ensure our nation is prepared for its next disaster – makes good on our promise to you, as Baltimoreans and Marylanders everywhere, that the federal government will fully fund the rebuild of our bridge,” said Congressman Kweisi Mfume. “After casting my vote in favor of this legislation, I am reminded of our rallying cry, that we are ‘Maryland Tough, and Baltimore Strong,’” he concluded. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
