With all that's happening at the federal level, 2017 is certainly starting out in ugly fashion.  But for me, 2017 is actually quite special.  This year marks my tenth anniversary of serving you in Annapolis.  As I often say, this seat isn't mine--I don't own it and I'm not entitled to it.  I'm only allowed to keep it as long as I make you proud.  I hope I've made you proud.
