that's why Glenn is running for re-election - to create good-paying jobs
Create good-paying jobs.
Occurrences
Evidence
The page says Ivey is 'proud to serve as Vice-Chair of the Labor Caucus,' advocates for 'fair wages and tax policies, equitable benefits, safe working conditions, and the right of workers to organize,' and says he will keep fighting attacks on federal workers. It also lists a Spring Job Fair and a Resource Fair for affected federal employees.
Ivey says one of his top priorities is to ensure federal investment in policies and programs that help Maryland's 4th District 'grow and thrive,' and he frames FY2027 requests as a way to improve 'quality of life and opportunity' in the district. The page was active for FY2027 requests with a March 8, 2026 deadline.
The delegation, including Glenn Ivey, said replacing the Francis Scott Key Bridge is 'an economic imperative' and noted that Federal Team Maryland fought for a 100 percent federal cost match. They said the early stages of reconstruction work will continue while Maryland seeks a more cost-effective contract.
Assessments
The promise is broad and outcome-based: create good-paying jobs. The evidence shows Ivey has supported job-related infrastructure funding, labor advocacy, job fairs, federal worker support, and appropriations activity during his current House term. Those are relevant efforts and may materially support employment, especially around the Key Bridge reconstruction, but the record provided does not show a completed, attributable outcome in which Ivey created a measurable set of good-paying jobs. Because the available evidence supports effort and some job-related advancement but not full delivery, partial credit is appropriate.
