Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley confirmed to head Social Security Administration
BY ADAM THOMPSON | Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was confirmed Monday as the commissioner of the Social Security Administration in a 50-11 vote. “Martin O’Malley’s extensive career in public service — including as mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland — has been underscored by transparency, accountability and progress.
He will bring these same values to the Social Security Administration,” said U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin. “Social Security is a critical insurance policy that tens of millions of working Americans pay into every year so that benefits can be there when they are older, disabled or leave young children after death.
Martin is a dedicated public servant who understands what Social Security means to our seniors, disability and survivor beneficiaries, and I am proud to support his confirmation as Social Security Commissioner.” The rest of this article can be found at the Baltimore Banner website.
