Recognizes the leadership of The Honorable Cedric Richmond (LA)
Washington, D.C. – The International Propeller Club of the United States will host its 35th annual Salute to Congress Wednesday, May 1, 2019, in recognition of The Honorable Cedric Richmond, Congressman of the 2nd District of Louisiana. U.S. Representative Cedric Richmond (LA-02) serves as co-chair of the Congressional Maritime Caucus, a caucus he founded in 2013 with Michael G. Grimm (NY-11). The Caucus raises awareness among members of Congress on a broad range of maritime-related topics.
“The maritime industry is the unsung hero of our nation’s economy,” said Rep. Richmond. “From Alaska to Puerto Rico, Louisiana to New York, every day this industry facilitates trade and delivers energy resources that support millions of jobs and pays billions in state and federal taxes every year. I also look forward to highlighting the role other industries play in supporting maritime commerce, be it in the fields of law, engineering, shipbuilding or insurance.”
