Exciting to see top job growth in DC in the #software, #informationservice and #dataservices spaces and the National Capital Region continues to become more of a hub for #tech.

washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/… Workforce development to move forward in the DMV, continuing as a top global destination.

Many D.C.-area businesses closed during the pandemic. Even more opened.

The "Great Resignation" and the gig economy are helping fuel a rise in new businesses in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, data and experts say.

Getting close! Excited to connect with #defense, #tech, and #security industry leaders as we bring #graduate programs, #research, and #experientiallearning to the National Capital Region

It makes no sense to leave nuclear waste near millions of people, active earthquake fault lines, and a critical military base. I’m leading this bipartisan bill to make sure the waste at San Onofre is some of the first to go.
KUSI News@KUSINews10 Feb 2022
After the federal government finishes building storage facilities for San Onofre's nuclear waste, it is likely to get top priority as the power plant is built in a high seismic, high population, and high national security concern area. kusi.com/bipartisan-effort-t…

Always big thank you to @RepMikeLevin for not just consistently making time and listening to veteran voices - but acting on issues of concern and pushing relevant legislation that makes significant impact on veteran economic opportunity 🙌
Rep. Mike Levin
@RepMikeLevin8 Feb 2022
Had a great listening session today with @VFWHQ, @DAVHQ, @PVA1946, @GIBillRights, and @studentvets. We’ve made a lot of progress for vets over the last few years, but there’s much more work to do! Looking forward to building on that work with my @VetAffairsDems colleagues.

Are you using your GI Bill benefits this year and wondering when you'll get your first payment? It actually depends on how you elected to receive your benefit payments—direct deposit vs. check. More here: va.gov/resources/gi-bill-and… #GIBill | #Education
