Evidence

The official press release index states that Mfume and Maryland delegation members announced $39,662,903 in federal funding for MEDCO to expand freight handling capacity at the Tradepoint Atlantic terminal within the Port of Baltimore, supporting the new Sparrows Point Container Terminal.

This is direct official House evidence, during Mfume's 2025-2027 term, of another federal investment for Tradepoint Atlantic after the campaign-style promise to continue securing such investments.

MARAD's FY 2023 awards list Maryland's Baltimore County Offshore Wind Manufacturing Hub at $47,392,500. The project funds berth and upland improvements near the Port of Baltimore, including roll-on/roll-off and crane pads, ground improvements, steel structures, remediation, and environmental mitigation.

This official award appears to be the referenced 'Tradepoint Atlantic funding' example: a substantial federal port/manufacturing investment in the Baltimore area during Mfume's federal service.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Kweisi Mfume as sponsor of H.R.7961, introduced April 11, 2024. CRS summarizes the bill as allowing 100% federal cost-share for emergency relief funds responding to damage caused by the cargo ship Dali to the Francis Scott Key Bridge, including reconstruction.

Mfume introduced concrete legislation to secure full federal funding for a major Maryland infrastructure recovery project, showing direct effort toward the promise even though this specific bill only reached introduction.

Mfume can receive federal-office credit because the evidence shows concrete same-term federal investments matching the promise: his office announced nearly $39.7 million for Tradepoint Atlantic terminal expansion in 2026, and MARAD independently confirms the award. Additional same-term Maryland federal investments, including Baltimore community funding and Key Bridge recovery funding he supported and legislated toward, reinforce that he continued working to secure federal investments for Maryland communities.
