Delaney (MD-6) releases the following statement congratulating Senator Barbara Mikulski as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I congratulate Senator Mikulski on being named as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nations highest civilian honor. Senator Mikulski has been a leader in the Senate and the Maryland delegation, and she will be missed after her retirement next year. As the longest-serving female Member of Congress she has broken the glass ceiling for women time and time again. She was the first woman to chair the Senate Appropriations Committee, she championed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and pushed for better research on womens health. Her work on college affordability has been instrumental in helping young Americans pursue higher education. It has been an honor to work with Senator Mikulski on behalf of our constituents in Maryland. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is presented to individuals who have made particularly worthy contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors. The awards will be presented at the White House on November 24th. ## | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
