Defend a strong, nonpartisan federal civil service by protecting merit-based hiring and investing in recruitment, retention, and modernization.

I’m proud to serve as a founding member of the Federal Workforce Caucus to defend a strong, nonpartisan civil service, protect merit-based hiring, and invest in recruitment, retention, and modernization so the federal workforce can keep delivering for the American people.

Olszewski commits to using the caucus to defend the federal civil service, protect merit-based hiring, and invest in workforce recruitment, retention, and modernization.

"Congressman Johnny Olszewski is working hard to defend democracy and to defend Maryland's dedicated federal workforce." The page also links a "Federal Workers Resource Guide."

Official office messaging shows active attention to federal workers and a concrete assistance resource, but it does not yet show a delivered merit-hiring or civil-service modernization policy outcome.

May 20, 2026: "Committee Passes Bipartisan Olszewski- Wied Bill to Streamline Contracting Process for Small Businesses."

This is a concrete same-term legislative action on government process modernization, but it is only adjacent to the broader pledge on civil-service merit, recruitment, retention, and modernization.

Olszewski's official resource page says he created a guide for federal employees and other workers affected by Trump Administration actions, with links on rights, prohibited personnel practices, appeals, whistleblower resources, unemployment, and civil-service resources.

Shows constituent-service and advocacy activity for federal employees, but it is assistance and positioning rather than an enacted merit-hiring, recruitment, retention, or modernization policy outcome.

The official release says Olszewski would introduce the Securing Assurance for Federal Employees Act to block mass federal layoffs during a shutdown, require reinstatement with back pay for unlawful firings, and continue efforts to defend the civil service.

Concrete same-term legislative effort directly aimed at protecting federal employees from politically driven layoffs. The release does not show enactment, so it supports effort but not full delivery.

The same release states that earlier in 2025 Olszewski introduced a measure requiring reinstatement of federal employees dismissed by DOGE while on probationary status because of recent promotions.

This is another concrete action to protect federal workers from removals, but the available source does not establish passage or implementation.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Johnny Olszewski of Maryland's 2nd District as a cosponsor of H.R.2550, the Protect America's Workforce Act, with a cosponsorship date of April 28, 2025.

Cosponsorship shows concrete support for federal workforce protections during the same House term, especially labor-management rights, but the bill is not itself a broad completed civil-service modernization or merit-hiring reform.

Congress.gov states H.R.2550 nullifies a March 27, 2025 executive order excluding specified agencies from federal labor-management relations programs, and shows the bill passed the House but was only received in the Senate on December 15, 2025.

The bill would protect collective-bargaining rights for federal employees and advanced through the House, but Congress.gov does not show Senate passage, presidential signature, or public law status as of the cited record.

The House Clerk's roll-call page for H.R.2550 shows the Protect America's Workforce Act passed the House 231-195 on December 11, 2025, and lists Olszewski as voting Yea.

Official roll-call evidence confirms Olszewski voted for a federal workforce protection bill that passed the House. Because it had not become law in the Congress.gov record, this is advancement rather than completed delivery.

The official press-release index states that Olszewski, Ami Bera, Chris Van Hollen, and Brian Schatz introduced legislation to preserve and strengthen the U.S. Foreign Service workforce responsible for work across embassies, consulates, and missions.

This is a same-term federal workforce recruitment/retention-adjacent legislative effort. It concerns the Foreign Service rather than the competitive civil service generally, and the index does not show enactment.

Olszewski's homepage says his office is working to defend Maryland's federal workforce and invites people affected by administration actions to share their stories so the office can pursue solutions.

Official messaging documents active advocacy and information-gathering for federal workers, but does not establish a completed federal policy protecting merit hiring or investing in recruitment, retention, and modernization.

Olszewski's official votes-and-legislation page directs constituents to legislation he sponsored and cosponsored on Congress.gov and displays recent House votes through June 11, 2026.

The page confirms an ongoing legislative record in the 119th Congress, but the visible recent-votes list does not show a completed civil-service merit hiring, recruitment, retention, or modernization law.
